Nemesia berlandi or Fagilde's trapdoor spider is a species of trapdoor spider, that lives in Portugal.[2] Females grows up to 22 mm with no information on males due to the fact that no male specimens have been found.[3] According to Re:wild, males of this species tap dance to attract mates.[2] This species is on Re:wild's Search For Lost Species, it became lost around 1931 and a recent expedition yielded a potential specimen though DNA testing is needed to confirm whether it is truly Nemesia berlandi.[2][4]
