Possible trapdoor spider?

[LuiziBee]

Hey. I was about to fall asleep last night when my friend sent me a picture of what I can only, at this point, assume is a trapdoor spider. I live in Nashville, TN and I'm aware of at least one type of trapdoor, a Cyclocosmia spp. This, however is definitely not it.

Sorry the picture quality isn't great.

If that didn't upload, I'll try again later. First attempt to upload through my phone.

Thank you!

I am leaning more towards a purse or funnel web type spider.

Pretty sure that's an Ummidia species trapdoor spider mature male? Cool picture. I didn't know you had Cyclocosmia up there! Gotta LOVE trapdoor spiders.

Yeah! We have, if I'm not horribly mistaken, Cyclocosmia truncate. I think they range from Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. I'd love to find one some day. They have the coolest abdomens.

Looks to be mature male trapdoor picture of front legs a little blury. The legs seem fairly long and abdomen seems small and more hairs than females.

Okay. I actually found something tonight. Was in a stand off with my cat. Growling at each other and I'm pretty sure they bit each other. This one is definitely a mature male. Is this a trapdoor?

The spider wasn't Growling at the cat, obviously. But was in threat pose.

myrmekiaphila???

Looks like Myrmekiaphila to me but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an Ummidia sp. It is small for a MM Ummidia if I am not mistaken, any experts?
