Euoplos is a genus of armoured trapdoor spiders that is endemic to Australia. It was first described by William Joseph Rainbow in 1914. [3]

Missulena is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Actinopodidae. It was first described by Charles Walckenaer in 1805, and is a senior synonym of Eriodon. M. tussulena is found in Chile, but the rest are indigenous to Australia. They are sometimes referred to as "mouse spiders" from the now-disproven belief that they dig deep burrows similar to those of mice. Scotophaeus blackwalli is also called a "mouse spider", but it is smaller and not closely related.
Idiopidae, also known as armored or spiny trapdoor spiders, is a family of mygalomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1889.
Idiosoma is a genus of Australian armoured trapdoor spiders that was first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871.
