Tube web spider web

At first glance I thought it was the web of a funnel spider but since I am and entomologist and do not know spiders very well (spiders are not insect but arachnids) I asked a good friend who studies spiders.
His best guess without seeing the spider is it is a tube web spider family Segestriidae. Here are photos of some of this family - http://bugguide.net/node/view/54565/bgimage

If you see the spider please send us a photo :-)

If it is a tube web spider, live in tubular retreats - holes in walls and bark and sometimes under stones. They are fast rushing out to grab prey and drag it back into the web. The first three pairs of legs point forwards to help them back into the tube.
