Homalonychus theologus is a species of true spider in the family Homalonychidae. It is found in the United States and Mexico.[1][2][3][4] The spiders camouflage themselves by covering themselves with sand when molting, and typically can be found under rocks or, if rocks are not found in the habitat, dead cacti.[5]
