Don't really know. When the rock was flipped it had some kind of funnel burrow. So i guess it's a funnel web..

I suppose you mean Euagrus?

Euagrus is a diplurid spider and not a funnel-web.

I guess I do mean Euagrus...And thank you for correcting me on what it was...My book on Texas Arachnids says Dipluridae are funnel webs.


Jonathan's link also says they're funnel webs.

awesome, i'm always on the look out for native CA non-theraphosidae myglas. there are supposed to be some pretty tiny (compared to even dwarf theraphosidaes) myglas in my part of the state

Ok, I think I have the species down. It's E. chisoesus since there's only 2 species of Euagrus in TX and it described the other as having yellow on it.

Well ok, yes, the word "funnel-web" is often used for diplurids aswell and not only some of the hexathelid genera.

Nice, Canth. What's the "potency" of their venom. I know very little about funnel webs, and I have some reservations about aquiring any.

from what i have read their venom shouldn't be anything special against humans

Well..I found one myself but it died. I was with Mike (H. cyaneus) and he found this one. So I was there when it was found...We were hoping they were all Theraphosid slings...lol.
