Cyrtaucheniidae
The wafer trapdoor spiders, family Cyrtaucheniidae, are a widespread family of spiders that lack the thorn-like spines on tarsi and metatarsi I and II (the two outermost leg segments) found in true trapdoor spiders (Ctenizidae). Etymology The scientific family name derives from the Greek κυρταύχην, ''kyrtaúchēn'', which in turn is derived from Greek κυρτός ''kyrtós'', meaning "curved", "arched" or "bent", αὐχήν ''auchen'', meaning the cervix or neck, and the suffix -''idae'', which designates belonging to a family. Biology Many, but not all, make wafer-like doors to their burrows, while others build the cork-like doors found commonly in the true trapdoor spiders. The biology of nearly all the species is poorly known. The monotypic ''Angka hexops'' has only six eyes, with the posterior median eyes missing. It is up to 15 mm long in both sexes.Murphy, Frances & Murphy, John (2000). ''An Introduction to the Spiders of South East Asia''. Kuala Lumpur ...

Euctenizidae
The Euctenizidae (formerly Cyrtaucheniidae subfamily Euctenizinae) are a family of mygalomorph spiders. They are now considered to be more closely related to Idiopidae. Etymology The name comes from the Greek prefix (''eu-''), meaning "valuable" or "good", which had been thought that the family Ctenizidae possess these traits.Bond, J. E., B. E. Hendrixson, C. A. Hamilton & M. Hedin. (Bond et al., 2012b) - ''A reconsideration of the classification of the spider infraorder Mygalomorphae (Arachnida: Araneae) based on three nuclear genes and morphology'' Biology Many, but not all, make wafer-like doors to their burrows, while others build the cork-like doors found commonly in the true trapdoor spiders. The biology of nearly all of the species is poorly known. Distribution The family occurs almost exclusively in the United States and Mexico. Common U.S. genera include ''Myrmekiaphila'', ''Aptostichus'' and '' Promyrmekiaphila''. Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepts the fo ...
