It is so hard to tell with trapdoors. There are many that all look very similar (stout, shiny, and dark) all over the world. Just comparing pictures will not get you very close to a knowing the species with this one unfortunately. Did you collect it orbuy it from a dealer? Finding out where it is from is would be a good start to learning its species name. that really is a great looking spider. Could you post any more pics if it hasn't already burrowed in?
peace,

"""not sphodros niger. Legs too long and chelicerea to small. """

i've bought it from a friend.. he doesn't know the name or from where it is...



this spider is not aggressive at all...like other trapdoors i've seen...
