Atypus muralis is a mygalomorph spider from Central Europe to Turkmenistan. It is very similar to Atypus piceus, but the posterior spinnerets consist of four instead of three segments.[1] They also build tubes that can be up to one meter deep. Females grow to around 12mm, while males grow to 9mm.[1]
