Aptostichus Angelinajolieae, named after Angelina Jolie

Aptostichus angelinajolieae, a species of trapdoor spider named for the actress, is found on coastal dunes of Northern California. Surprisingly, the spider does not have large lips or a hunky husband. 
It's also named this because it's a hatch to hide from prey.
