Species Cyclocosmia truncata

Latin: "cut off, shortened"

central Tennessee, northern Alabama, northwestern Georgia

Males are typically found from August to November.

According to a phylogenetic analysis ("Deep genetic divergence in the Deep South: An integrative approach to species delimitation reveals the paraphyletic nature of speciation in the trapdoor spider genus Cyclocosmia"), the northern and southern populations of this species may actually be separate species, although no morphological differences are known.
