Ummidia aedificatoria is a species of trap-door spider found in Portugal, Spain and Morocco.[1] It builds a shallow silk-lined trapdoor burrow, similar to those of U. algeriana and U. picea.[2] Only three female specimens have been positively identified, all ranging from 18 to 29 millimeters in length.[3]
