Etymology. The name is derived from the Ngajan name for the type locality, to be treated as female in gender.
Diagnosis. This unidentate Australian genus of very small spiders can be distinguished from other genera by the clockwise corkscrew form of the embolus and the presence of a distal tegular lobe. The fossae are small, with strongly delineated guides and the entrances to the insemination canals are centrally placed. The fertilization canals are relative long and distinct. The spermatheca is not subdivided. Provisionally it should be placed in the Euophryinae on the basis of the anticlockwise curve and position of the embolus and the presence of paired fossae.
