Atypoides riversi, known as turret spider,[2] is a species of mygalomorph spider in the family Antrodiaetidae.[1] It is a medium-sized spider native to Northern California[3][4] that constructs a burrow with a turret made of soil, vegetation and silk.[5] This spider's length is 13 to 18 millimetres (0.51 to 0.71 in) long, though females are larger than males.[2]
