Name
Aptostichus miwok Bond, 2008 – Wikispecies link – Miwok Trapdoor Spider’ ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Diagnosis
Based on morphological features alone (Figs 98–103) this species can be difficult to diagnose from geographically proximate sibling species, Aptostichus stanfordianus, Aptostichus angelinajolieae, and Aptostichus stephencolberti but can be distinguished on the basis of a set of unique mtDNA nucleotide substitutions (see Bond and Stockman 2008[1]). The species is restricted in distribution to the coastal dune habitats of Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte Counties (California). Individuals of Aptostichus stanfordianus, found only in inland habitats,are much darker in coloration whereas Aptostichus miwok specimens are much lighter (Figs 104, 105).

Distribution and natural history
Aptostichus miwok is distributed throughout the geographically disjunct coastal dune habitats of Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin, and San Francisco counties of central and northern California (Map 8). A single inland specimen (Humboldt) is placed with this species on the basis of the molecular data. The DM for Aptostichus miwok (Map 9) corresponds closely to the known occurrences with the largest areas of high probability of occurrence in the more northern extent of the species’ distribution. The model indicates that inland localities may be suitable despite the paucity of known inland populations. The habitat requirements and general burrow structure is very similar to that described for Aptostichus stephencolberti. All populations are located in the coastal dune habitat. Males have been collected in the months of September, November, January, March, and April.
Conservation status
Aptostichus miwok is abundant and widespread across its distribution and thus is likely classified as secure.
Species concept applied
Cohesion. Aptostichus miwok is considered to be ecological non-interchangeable from other closely related lineages–it is restricted to coastal dune habitat and has psammophilic features (e.g., lighter coloration).
Remarks
The recognition of Aptostichus miwok by Bond and Stockman (2008)[1] as a species renders one of the Aptostichus stanfordianus lineages paraphyletic (Fig. 28). While this is somewhat problematic, I have chosen to uphold this decision because of the adaptive diversity contained within the nominal Aptostichus miwok lineage and apparent lack of both genetic and ecological interchangeability between this lineage and Aptostichus stanfordianus.
