Euoplos similaris, also known as the banded golden trapdoor spider, is a species of mygalomorph spider in the Idiopidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1918 by Australian arachnologists William Joseph Rainbow and Robert Henry Pulleine.[1]
The species occurs in south-eastern Queensland in open forest habitats. The type locality is Kedron Brook in the northern suburbs of Brisbane.[1]
The spiders are fossorial, terrestrial predators. They construct burrows in creek banks with thick, plug-like trapdoors.[1]
