California Turret Spider (Atypoides riversi)Observer
rjadams55Description
According to Starrett and Hedin's review of the different cryptic species within the A. riversi complex, this is very near the southwestern edge of the "Valley" spider clade. This makes sense in the shape of their turrets which are very similar to those at Pinnacles N.P., but quite different from those at Point Lobos.
