Thank you Mark Newton for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~5-7mm. Very difficult to be certain of species, with out proper examination (as with many of the spiders here). This genus is unusual for a spider in that the male & female are the same size. | |||||
