Distribution and behaviour
Only known from the provinces of Chafiaral Province and Copiapo, Region III (Atacama). The type locality is situated near the sea. It is known to habitate thin sand, particularly in narrow Y-shaped burrows. The burrows are usually between Шаблон:Convert wide, and up to Шаблон:Convert deep. During the day, the sand covers the flap-door completely. At night, the burrows are opened (its flap-door turned completely backwards). Spiders stay at the door awaiting prey.
