Apomastus
Apomastus is a genus of North American mygalomorph spiders in the family Euctenizidae, and was first described by Jason Bond & B. D. Opell in 2002.[2] As of May 2019 it contains only two species, both found in the Los Angeles Basin of southern California:[3] A. kristenae and A. schlingeri.[1]
