038B878BFF8B2152FDF0FB96CE6865D6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Modified from Harvey et al. (2018): species of Aname can be diagnosed from all other Australian anamid genera by the presence of a ventral asetose depression on the palp tibia of males (see Fig. 2 I and Figs 3 – 4 for further examples). They can be further distinguished from Chenistonia Hogg, 1901, Proshermacha Simon, 1908, Teyloides Main, 1985, Teyl Main, 1975, and Namea Raven, 1984 (all members of the subfamily Teylinae) by the presence of a short cymbium without a medial constriction, and further from Namea and Teyl by the presence of a tibial megaspur. Both adult males and females can further be distinguished from Chenistonia, Proshermacha, Teyloides, Teyl, and Namea by the presence of a relatively broad (extending laterally and anteriorly) patch of cuspules on the maxillae.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF902150FD17FC18CE6961AB.taxon	discussion	Remarks See the key to complexes and Figures 3 – 5 for diagnostic information. In life, spiders of the pallida - complex are usually dark red-brown, sometimes with lighter segments on some or all of the legs (Fig. 6). However, somatic colouration can be surprisingly variable within species (see, for example, the two female A. giraulti specimens pictured in Fig. 6). Females of the pallida - complex generally have reflective bronze setae on the carapace, and sometimes also on the dorsal abdomen and femora. Males of at least some species have reflective silver setae on the carapace and dorsal abdomen (Fig. 6). Spiders of this complex generally construct an open, silk-lined burrow without silk outside of the entrance, with the main entrance often on an angle relative to the ground surface, and with a hidden secondary ‘ wishbone’ entrance. The burrows are usually found in areas with a leaf-litter layer, and indeed the main entrance is often somewhat embedded within the leaf-litter (Fig. 6).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF902150FD17FC18CE6961AB.taxon	distribution	Distribution The pallida - complex has a largely sub-coastal distribution, occurring along a strip of the Queensland coast from the New England Tablelands and Southeast Queensland bioregions along the New South Wales border, as far north as the Einasleigh Uplands and Wet Tropics bioregions in north Queensland (Fig. 6). They occur no more than a few hundred kilometres inland of the Pacific coast, with the most inland species being A. convoluta sp. nov., which occurs about 300 km from the coast. They generally occur in drier woodlands, although some of the northern species can be found in lowland tropical vine scrub or rainforest habitats.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF952154FDF4FEAFCA826085.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. pallida can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta sp. nov., A. ferruginea sp. nov., A. giraulti, A. intermedia sp. nov., and A. vigilata sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), and the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5), a proximal excavation less than or equal to half the length of metatarsus I, and a prominent and sharp heel on metatarsus I (Fig. 15 Q). Males of A. pallida can be distinguished from those of A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta, A. intermedia, and A. vigilata by the presence of a reflexed embolus with a small hook at the tip, and the absence of short, thorn-like setae along the retrolateral edge of the asetose depression on the palp tibia (Fig. 15 K – M; cf. Figs 18, 21, 23, 29, 33). Males of A. pallida can be distinguished from those of A. ferruginea sp. nov. by the presence of a longer and more reflexed embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 2.2), and a shorter, more triangular tibial spur (Fig. 15 J – Q; cf. Fig. 25). Males of A. pallida can be distinguished from those of A. giraulti by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length ~ 2.5; cf. ~ 2.3 in A. giraulti) (Fig. 15 L; cf. Fig. 27). Females of A. pallida can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. ferruginea sp. nov. and A. giraulti by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) that curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length <0.5) (Fig. 16 D, L). Females of A. pallida can be distinguished from those of A. ferruginea by the presence of spermathecae with more elongate lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / width> 2.0) (Fig. 16 L; cf. Fig. 26). Females of A. pallida can be distinguished from those of A. giraulti by their distribution (Fig. 6), occurring in central Queensland, in or near the Central Mackay Coast Bioregion (based on current data females of A. pallida and A. giraulti cannot be confidently distinguished morphologically) (Fig. 16; cf. Fig. 28).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFF952154FDF4FEAFCA826085.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history Aname pallida occurs in central-eastern Queensland, in the Central Mackay Coast bioregion, extending from Moranbah in the south-west to Bowen in the north-east (Fig. 6). It constructs an open, silk-lined burrow without silk outside of the entrance, often on an angle, and with a hidden secondary ‘ wishbone’ entrance (Fig. 6).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF952154FDF4FEAFCA826085.taxon	discussion	Remarks The subadult male holotype of A. pallida is in very poor condition and therefore lacks many of the most informative taxonomic characters. However, based on current data, only two species occur near the type locality of Bowen, and one is significantly larger than the other. Given that the subadult male holotype of A. pallida is quite large (i. e. carapace length 6.64), and based on somatic morphology, we have determined that the larger species matches A. pallida, and the smaller species is here described as A. litoralis sp. nov.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF96215FFE4EF8A2CFA3623B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. attenuata can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta sp. nov., A. ferruginea sp. nov., A. giraulti, A. intermedia sp. nov., A. pallida, and A. vigilata sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), and the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5), a proximal excavation less than or equal to half the length of metatarsus I, and a prominent and sharp heel on metatarsus I (Fig. 18 Q). Males of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. ferruginea, A. giraulti, and A. pallida by the presence of an embolus that is not reflexed and does not have a small hook at the tip, and the presence of thorn-like setae along the retrolateral edge of the asetose depression on the palp tibia (Fig. 18 K – M; cf. Figs 15, 25, 27). Males of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. blackdownensis, A. intermedia, and A. vigilata by the presence of a copulatory organ with an un-demarcated embolus, such that the bulb tapers gradually into the curving embolus (Fig. 18 L; cf. Figs 21, 29, 33). Males of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. convoluta by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length <2.0) (Fig. 18 L; cf. Fig. 23). Females of A. attenuata can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta sp. nov., and A. platensis sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25), and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length> 1.0) that project at an antero-medial angle (Figs 19 L, 20 L). Females of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. convoluta by the presence of spermathecae with less elongate medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width <0.5) (Figs 19 L, 20 L; cf. Fig. 24). Females of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. blackdownensis by the absence of bristle-like setae covering the posterior part of the abdomen (Figs 19 B, D, 20 B, D; cf. Fig. 22). Females of A. attenuata can be distinguished from those of A. platensis by the presence of spermathecae with thinner, undulating medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / width ~ 4.1; cf. ~ 3.3 in A. platensis) (Figs 19 L, 20 L; cf. Fig. 32).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFF96215FFE4EF8A2CFA3623B.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history Aname attenuata occurs in south-eastern Queensland, in the Southeast Queensland and Brigalow Belt South bioregions, extending from around Eidsvold in the north to Toowoomba and Amberley / Redbank Plains in the south, and from around Dalby in the west to Cooloola (including K’gari – Fraser Island) in the east (Fig. 6). It constructs an open, silk-lined burrow without silk outside of the entrance, often on an angle, and with a hidden secondary ‘ wishbone’ entrance (Fig. 6).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF96215FFE4EF8A2CFA3623B.taxon	discussion	Remarks Our (very limited) current molecular sample of A. attenuata indicates significant genetic divergence between northern (nominate) and southern populations (COI average pairwise divergence of 10.34 %), and the COI sequences of specimens assigned to the species were not recovered as a monophyletic group. However, morphology of both males and females from the northern and southern extent of the distribution show no significant morphological differences, and we thus retain them within one species. The holotype of this species was synonymised with Aname distincta by Raven (1981), but morphological examination during this study revealed it to be a distinct species. Furthermore, most of the males and females imaged and identified as A. distincta in Raven (1985) are actually A. attenuata.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF9F2162FDE2F9E0CA0562A1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. convoluta sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, A. ferruginea sp. nov., A. giraulti, A. intermedia sp. nov., A. pallida, and A. vigilata sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), and the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5), a proximal excavation less than or equal to half the length of metatarsus I, and a prominent and sharp heel on metatarsus I (Fig. 23 Q). Males of A. convoluta can be distinguished from those of A. ferruginea, A. giraulti, and A. pallida by the presence of an embolus that is not reflexed and does not have a small hook at the tip, and the presence of thorn-like setae along the retrolateral edge of the asetose depression on the palp tibia (Fig. 23 K – M; cf. Figs 15, 25, 27). Males of A. convoluta can be distinguished from those of A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, and A. vigilata by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 2) (Fig. 23 L; cf. Figs 18, 21, 33). Males of A. convoluta can be distinguished from those of A. intermedia by the presence of a more gradually tapering embolus, with a narrower basal section (Fig. 23 L – M; cf. Fig. 29). Females of A. convoluta sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, and A. platensis sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25), and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length> 1) that project at an antero-medial angle (Fig. 24 L). Females of A. convoluta can be distinguished from those of A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, and A. platensis by the presence of spermathecae with longer, cork-screw shaped medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width ~ 0.6; cf. <0.5) (Fig. 24 L; cf.

038B878BFF9F2162FDE2F9E0CA0562A1.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history Aname convoluta sp. nov. occurs in south-eastern Queensland in the Brigalow Belt South bioregion. It occurs west of Eidsvold, near the Palmgrove and Isla Gorge National Parks, with its range between Taroom in the south and Roundstone in the north (Fig. 6). It constructs an open, silk-lined burrow without silk outside of the entrance, often on an angle, and with a hidden secondary ‘ wishbone’ entrance (Fig. 6).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFA02167FDE7FA84CE456032.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. ferruginea sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta sp. nov., A. giraulti, A. intermedia sp. nov., A. pallida, and A. vigilata sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), and the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5), a proximal excavation less than or equal to half the length of metatarsus I, and a prominent and sharp heel on metatarsus I (Fig. 25 Q). Males of A. ferruginea can be distinguished from those of A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta, A. intermedia, and A. vigilata by the presence of a reflexed embolus with a small hook at the tip, and the absence of short, thorn-like setae along the retrolateral edge of the asetose depression on the palp tibia (Fig. 25 K – M; cf. Figs 18, 21, 23, 29, 33). Males of A. ferruginea can be distinguished from those of A. giraulti and A. pallida by the presence of a shorter and less reflexed embolus (embolus length / bulb length ~ 2), and a longer, more digitiform tibial spur (Fig. 25 J – Q; cf. Figs 15, 27). Females of A. ferruginea sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. giraulti and A. pallida by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) that curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length <0.5) (Fig. 26 D, L). Females of A. ferruginea can be distinguished from those of A. giraulti and A. pallida by the presence of spermathecae with shorter, wider lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / width <1.5) (Fig. 26 L; cf. Figs 16, 28).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFA02167FDE7FA84CE456032.taxon	etymology	Etymology The specific epithet ‘ ferruginea ’ is a Latin adjective meaning ‘ rusty’, or ‘ of the colour of iron-rust’, in reference to the general dark red-brown hue of the spider and the reflective bronze setae on its carapace.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFA5216BFDBEF916CA606454.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. giraulti can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta sp. nov., A. ferruginea sp. nov., A. intermedia sp. nov., A. pallida, and A. vigilata sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), and the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5), a proximal excavation less than or equal to half the length of metatarsus I, and a prominent and sharp heel on metatarsus I (Fig. 27 Q). Males of A. giraulti can be distinguished from those of A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta, A. intermedia, and A. vigilata by the presence of a reflexed embolus with a small hook at the tip, and the absence of short, thorn-like setae along the retrolateral edge of the asetose depression on the palp tibia (Fig. 27 K – M; cf. Figs 18, 21, 23, 29, 33). Males of A. giraulti can be distinguished from those of A. ferruginea by the presence of a longer and more reflexed embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 2.2), and a shorter, more triangular tibial spur (Fig. 27 J – Q; cf. Fig. 25). Males of A. giraulti can be distinguished from those of A. pallida by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length ~ 2.3; cf. ~ 2.5 in A. pallida) (Fig. 27 L; cf. Fig. 15). Females of A. giraulti can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. ferruginea sp. nov. and A. pallida by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) that curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length <0.5) (Fig. 28 D, L). Females of A. giraulti can be distinguished from those of A. ferruginea by the presence of spermathecae with more elongate lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / width> 2) (Fig. 28 L; cf. Fig. 26). Females of A. giraulti can be distinguished from those of A. pallida by their distribution (Fig. 6), occurring in tropical north Queensland, in the Wet Tropics, Einasleigh Uplands or the northern part of the Brigalow Belt North bioregions (based on current data females of A. pallida and A. giraulti cannot be confidently distinguished morphologically) (Fig. 28; cf.

038B878BFFA5216BFDBEF916CA606454.taxon	discussion	Remarks This species was previously in synonymy with Aname pallida; however, morphological examination, along with molecular divergence values (12.22 % average pairwise divergence for COI) indicate that it is a distinct species, of which Aname collinsorum Raven, 1985 is a junior synonym. Although we have examined both the A. giraulti lectotype and the A. collinsorum holotype to confirm that they are conspecific, we have imaged the A. collinsorum holotype due to it being more recently collected and in better condition.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFA92169FDE4FDFEC90F6358.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. intermedia sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta sp. nov., A. ferruginea sp. nov., A. giraulti, A. pallida, and A. vigilata sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), and the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5), a proximal excavation less than or equal to half the length of metatarsus I, and a prominent and sharp heel on metatarsus I (Fig. 29 Q). Males of A. intermedia can be distinguished from those of A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, A. convoluta, A. ferruginea, A. giraulti, A. pallida, and A. vigilata by the presence of a relatively wide basal section on the embolus, which then tapers to an attenuate, sinuous distal section after about 0.4 of length (similar to eddieorum - complex species) (Fig. 29 L – M; cf. Figs 15, 18, 21, 23, 25, 27, 33).

038B878BFFAB216EFD18FAF1CA05642A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. platensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5), a narrow sternum (sternum length / width> 1.3), and a thick metatarsus I with a rounded heel (metatarsus I length / width ~ 3.5) (Fig. 31 A – Q). Females of A. platensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. attenuata, A. blackdownensis, and A. convoluta sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25), and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length> 1) that project at an antero-medial angle (Fig. 32 L). Females of A. platensis can be distinguished from those of A. convoluta by the presence of spermathecae with less elongate medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width <0.5) (Fig. 32 L; cf. Fig. 24). Females of A. platensis can be distinguished from those of A. blackdownensis by the absence of bristle-like setae covering the posterior part of the abdomen (Fig. 32 B, D; cf. Fig. 22). Females of A. platensis can be distinguished from those of A. attenuata by the presence of spermathecae with thicker, straighter medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / width ~ 3.3; cf. ~ 4.1 in A. attenuata) (Fig. 32 L; cf.

Figs 15, 25, 27). Males of A. vigilata can be distinguished from those of A. intermedia by the presence of a more gradually tapering embolus, with a narrower basal section (Fig. 33 L – M; cf. Fig. 29). Males of A. vigilata can be distinguished from those of A. convoluta by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length <2) (Fig. 33 L; cf. Fig. 23). Males of A. vigilata can be distinguished from those of A. attenuata by the presence of a copulatory organ with a more demarcated bulb and embolus (Fig. 33 L; cf. Fig. 18). Males of A. vigilata can be distinguished from those of A. blackdownensis by the absence of erect, bristle-like setae on the posterior part of the abdomen (Fig. 33 B, D; cf. Fig. 21). Females of A. vigilata sp. nov. are unknown.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFAE2172FDEEFEAFCE696315.taxon	discussion	Remarks See the key to complexes and Figures 3 – 5 for diagnostic information. In life, spiders of the eddieorum - complex vary from honey-tan to dark brown in colour, with the anterior legs often slightly darker than the posterior legs (Fig. 7); however, colour can vary a surprising amount within species (see, for example, the two female A. briggsi sp. nov. specimens pictured in Fig. 7). Females of the eddieorum - complex generally have reflective bronze setae on the carapace, and sometimes the dorsal abdomen and femora. Males of at least some species have a dense covering of reflective silver setae on the carapace and dorsal abdomen (Fig. 7). Spiders of this complex generally make an open, silk-lined burrow without silk outside of the entrance, with the entrance often on an angle, and with a hidden secondary ‘ wishbone’ entrance. The burrows are often found in areas with a leaf-litter layer, and indeed the entrance may be somewhat embedded in the leaf-litter (Fig. 7).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFAE2172FDEEFEAFCE696315.taxon	distribution	Distribution The eddieorum - complex has a largely inland distribution in Queensland and northern New South Wales, occurring from the Darling Riverine Plains, Brigalow Belt South, and New England Tablelands bioregions, north to the Brigalow Belt North, Mitchell Grass Downs and Desert Uplands bioregions in north Queensland (near the border with the Einsleigh Uplands) (Fig. 7). They are generally found on or west of the Great Dividing Range, except A. aurensis sp. nov. which extends to near the coast around Townsville and Ayr. The two most southerly species, A. mulgana sp. nov. and A. eddieorum sp. nov., are both widespread; however, in central Queensland many species occur, each with seemingly relatively small ranges. This may be due to the increased topological complexity in this region, and the adjoining boundaries between several different bioregions.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFB02177FD1AFA31CE456379.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. aurensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. briggsi sp. nov., A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. hughenden sp. nov., A. longitheca, A. mulgana sp. nov., A. rupicola sp. nov., and A. warrego sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that has a relatively wide basal section tapering into an attenuate, sinuous distal section after about 0.4 of length, and the absence of a prominent sharp heel on metatarsus I (as in the pallida - complex) (Fig. 34 L – M). Males of A. aurensis can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum, A. longitheca, and A. warrego by the presence of a tibia I that widens from the proximal end to the base of the tibial spur when in lateral view (Fig. 34 P; cf. Figs 39, 42, 48). Males of A. aurensis can be distinguished from those of A. briggsi, A. hughenden, and A. mulgana by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length <2.5) (Fig. 34 L – M; cf. Figs 36, 41, 44). Males of A. aurensis can be distinguished from those of A. rupicola by the presence of a longer distal pad and shorter proximal excavation on metatarsus I (excavation length / metatarsus length ~ 0.37; cf. ~ 0.46 in A. rupicola) (Fig. 34 Q; cf. Fig. 46). Females of A. aurensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. briggsi sp. nov., A. camara, A. dingo sp. nov., A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. longitheca, A. mulgana sp. nov., and A. rupicola sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length> 1) that project medially or posteromedially, before undulating anteriorly (Fig. 35 L). Females of A. aurensis can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum and A. mulgana by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles terminating in narrower ends (Fig. 35 L; cf. Figs 40, 45). Females of A. aurensis can be distinguished from those of A. camara by the presence of a darker body colouration and spermathecae with longer vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 35 A – L; cf. Fig. 107). Females of A. aurensis can be distinguished from those of A. briggsi by the presence of spermathecae with less elongate lateral and medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width <0.65) (Fig. 35 L; cf. Fig. 37). Females of A. aurensis can be distinguished from those of A. rupicola by the presence of spermathecae with straighter lateral vesicles (Fig. 35 L; cf. Fig. 47). Females of A. aurensis can be distinguished from those of A. longitheca by the presence of spermathecae with shorter medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width usually <0.6), and the absence of dark patches of cuticle on the sternum, surrounding and lateral of the sigilla (Fig. 35 G – I, L; cf. Fig. 43). Females of A. aurensis can be distinguished from those of A. dingo by the presence of spermathecae with thicker, less undulating medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / width ~ 5.3; cf. ~ 6.2 in A. dingo), and a dark red body colouration (Fig. 35 A – L; cf. Fig. 38).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFB52174FD0CFADDC9FB6562.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. briggsi sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. aurensis sp. nov., A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. hughenden sp. nov., A. longitheca, A. mulgana sp. nov., A. rupicola sp. nov., and A. warrego sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that has a relatively wide basal section tapering into an attenuate, sinuous distal section after about 0.4 of length, and the absence of a prominent sharp heel on metatarsus I (as in the pallida - complex) (Fig. 36 L – M). Males of A. briggsi can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum, A. longitheca, and A. warrego by the presence of a tibia I that widens from the proximal end to the base of the tibial spur when in lateral view (Fig. 36 P; cf. Figs 39, 42, 48). Males of A. briggsi can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis and A. rupicola by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 2.5) (Fig. 36 L – M; cf. Figs 34, 46). Males of A. briggsi can be distinguished from those of A. hughenden by the presence of a more strongly curving embolus (Fig. 36 L – M; cf. Fig. 41). Males of A. briggsi can be distinguished from those of A. mulgana by the presence of a longer distal pad and shorter proximal excavation on metatarsus I (excavation length / metatarsus length ~ 0.36; cf. ~ 0.43 in A. mulgana) (Fig. 36 Q; cf. Fig. 44). Females of A. briggsi sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. aurensis sp. nov., A. camara, A. dingo sp. nov., A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. longitheca, A. mulgana sp. nov., and A. rupicola sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length> 1) that project medially or posteromedially, before undulating anteriorly (Fig. 37 L). Females of A. briggsi can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis, A. dingo, A. longitheca, and A. rupicola by the presence of spermathecae with highly elongate vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.8; cf. <0.65) (Fig. 37 L; cf. Figs 35, 38, 43, 47). Females of A. briggsi can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum and A. mulgana by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles terminating in narrower ends (Fig. 37 L; cf. Figs 40, 45). Females of A. briggsi can be distinguished from those of A. camara by the presence of a darker body colouration and spermathecae with longer vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 37 A – L; cf. Fig. 107).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

Females of A. dingo sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. aurensis sp. nov., A. briggsi sp. nov., A. camara, A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. longitheca, A. mulgana sp. nov., and A. rupicola sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length> 1) that project medially or posteromedially, before undulating anteriorly (Fig. 38 L). Females of A. dingo can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum and A. mulgana by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles terminating in narrower ends (Fig. 38 L; cf. Figs 40, 45). Females of A. dingo can be distinguished from those of A. camara by the presence of a darker body colouration and spermathecae with longer vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 38 A – L; cf. Fig. 107). Females of A. dingo can be distinguished from those of A. briggsi by the presence of spermathecae with less elongate lateral and medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width <0.65) (Fig. 38 L; cf. Fig. 37). Females of A. dingo can be distinguished from those of A. rupicola by the presence of spermathecae with straighter lateral vesicles (Fig. 38 L; cf. Fig. 47). Females of A. dingo can be distinguished from those of A. longitheca by the presence of spermathecae with shorter medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width usually <0.6), and the absence of dark patches of cuticle on the sternum, surrounding and lateral to the sigilla (Fig. 38 G – I, L; cf. Fig. 43). Females of A. dingo can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis by the presence of spermathecae with more elongate, undulating medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / width ~ 6.2; cf. ~ 5.3 in A. dingo) and a lighter body colouration (Fig. 38 A – L; cf.

038B878BFFB9217FFDE7F8A2C8FC629E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. eddieorum sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. aurensis sp. nov., A. briggsi sp. nov., A. hughenden sp. nov., A. longitheca, A. mulgana sp. nov., A. rupicola sp. nov., and A. warrego sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that has a relatively wide basal section tapering into an attenuate, sinuous distal section after about 0.4 of length, and the absence of a prominent sharp heel on metatarsus I (as in the pallida - complex) (Fig. 39 L – M). Males of A. eddieorum can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis, A. briggsi, A. hughenden, A. mulgana, and A. rupicola by the presence of a tibia I that stays about the same width from the proximal end to the base of the tibial spur when in lateral view (Fig. 39 P; cf. Figs 34, 36, 41, 44, 46). Males of A. eddieorum can be distinguished from those of A. warrego by the presence of a thicker palp tibia (palp tibia length / width <3) (Fig. 39 J – K; cf. Fig. 48). Males of A. eddieorum can be distinguished from those of A. longitheca by the presence of a shorter, straighter embolus (embolus length / bulb length ~ 2.2; cf. ~ 2.7 in A. longitheca) (Fig. 39 L – M; cf. Fig. 42). Females of A. eddieorum sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. aurensis sp. nov., A. briggsi sp. nov., A. camara, A. dingo sp. nov., A. longitheca, A. mulgana sp. nov., and A. rupicola sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length> 1) that project medially or posteromedially, before undulating anteriorly (Fig. 40 L). Females of A. eddieorum can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis, A. briggsi, A. dingo, A. longitheca, and A. rupicola by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles terminating in relatively wide ends (Fig. 40 L; cf. Figs 35, 37 – 38, 43, 47). Females of A. eddieorum can be distinguished from those of A. camara by the presence of a darker body colouration and spermathecae with longer vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 40 A – L; cf. Fig. 107). Females of A. eddieorum can be distinguished from those of A. mulgana by the presence of bald patches on the sternum, lateral of the sigilla, the absence of thorn-like setae around the anterior edges of the sternum, and more rounded medioventral corners of the coxae (Fig. 40 G – I; cf. Fig. 45).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

Males of A. hughenden can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum, A. longitheca, and A. warrego. by the presence of a tibia I that widens from the proximal end to the base of the tibial spur when in lateral view (Fig. 41 P; cf. Figs 39, 42, 48). Males of A. hughenden can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis and A. rupicola by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 2.5) (Fig. 41 L – M; cf. Figs 34, 46). Males of A. hughenden can be distinguished from those of A. briggsi and A. mulgana by the presence of a straighter embolus (Fig. 41 L – M; cf. Figs 36, 44). Females of A. hughenden sp. nov. are unknown.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFBF2103FDC0FDC8CE686033.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. longitheca can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. aurensis sp. nov., A. briggsi sp. nov., A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. hughenden sp. nov., A. mulgana sp. nov., A. rupicola sp. nov., and A. warrego sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that has a relatively wide basal section tapering into an attenuate, sinuous distal section after about 0.4 of length, and the absence of a prominent sharp heel on metatarsus I (as in the pallida - complex) (Fig. 42 L – M). Males of A. longitheca can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis, A. briggsi, A. hughenden, A. mulgana, and A. rupicola by the presence of a tibia I that stays about the same width from the proximal end to the base of the tibial spur when in lateral view (Fig. 42 P; cf. Figs 34, 36, 41, 44, 46). Males of A. longitheca can be distinguished from those of A. warrego by the presence of a thicker palp tibia (palp tibia length / width <3) (Fig. 42 J – K; cf. Fig. 48). Males of A. longitheca can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum by the presence of a longer, more curved embolus (embolus length / bulb length ~ 2.7; cf. ~ 2.2 in A. eddieorum) (Fig. 42 L – M; cf. Fig. 39). Females of A. longitheca can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. aurensis sp. nov., A. briggsi sp. nov., A. camara, A. dingo sp. nov., A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. mulgana sp. nov., and A. rupicola sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length> 1) that project medially or posteromedially, before undulating anteriorly (Fig. 43 L). Females of A. longitheca can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum and A. mulgana by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles terminating in narrower ends (Fig. 43 L; cf. Figs 40, 45). Females of A. longitheca can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis and A. dingo by the presence of spermathecae with long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.6) and dark patches of cuticle on the sternum, surrounding and lateral of the sigilla (Fig. 43 G – I, L; cf. Figs 35, 38). Females of A. longitheca can be distinguished from those of A. camara by the presence of a darker body colouration and spermathecae with longer vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 43 A – L; cf. Fig. 107). Females of A. longitheca can be distinguished from A. briggsi by the presence of spermathecae with less elongate lateral and medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width <0.65) (Fig. 43 L; cf. Fig. 37). Females of A. longitheca can be distinguished from those of A. rupicola by the presence of spermathecae with straighter lateral vesicles (Fig. 43 L; cf.

Males of A. mulgana can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum, A. longitheca, and A. warrego by the presence of a tibia I that widens from the proximal end to the base of the tibial spur when in lateral view (Fig. 44 P; cf. Figs 39, 42, 48). Males of A. mulgana can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis and A. rupicola by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 2.5) (Fig. 44 L – M; cf. Figs 34, 46). Males of A. mulgana can be distinguished from those of A. hughenden by the presence of a more strongly curving embolus (Fig. 44 L – M; cf. Fig. 41). Males of A. mulgana can be distinguished from those of A. briggsi by the presence of a shorter distal pad and longer proximal excavation on metatarsus I (excavation length / metatarsus length ~ 0.43; cf. ~ 0.36 in A. briggsi) (Fig. 44 Q; cf.

038B878BFFC12100FD19F909C86760F4.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history Aname mulgana sp. nov. has a widespread distribution in central-southern Queensland and central-northern New South Wales, in the Mulga Lands and Darling Riverine Plains bioregions. It extends from Walgett in the south to Charleville in the north, and from Charleville in the west to St George in the east (Fig. 7). The form of burrows constructed by spiders of this species is unknown, but is likely to be similar to that of other eddieorum - complex species (Fig. 7).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFC22105FD15F952C879634F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. rupicola sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. aurensis sp. nov., A. briggsi sp. nov., A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. hughenden sp. nov., A. longitheca, A. mulgana sp. nov., and A. warrego sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that has a relatively wide basal section tapering into an attenuate, sinuous distal section after about 0.4 of length, and the absence of a prominent sharp heel on metatarsus I (as in the pallida - complex) (Fig. 46 L – M). Males of A. rupicola can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum, A. longitheca, and A. warrego by the presence of a tibia I that widens from the proximal end to the base of the tibial spur when in lateral view (Fig. 46 P; cf. Figs 39, 42, 48). Males of A. rupicola can be distinguished from those of A. briggsi, A. hughenden, and A. mulgana by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length <2.5) (Fig. 46 L – M; cf. Figs 36, 41, 44). Males of A. rupicola can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis by the presence of a shorter distal pad and longer proximal excavation on metatarsus I (excavation length / metatarsus length ~ 0.46; cf. ~ 0.37 in A. aurensis) (Fig. 46 Q; cf. Fig. 34). Females of A. rupicola sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. aurensis sp. nov., A. briggsi sp. nov., A. camara, A. dingo sp. nov., A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. longitheca, and A. mulgana sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length> 1) that project medially or posteromedially, before undulating anteriorly (Fig. 47 L). Females of A. rupicola can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis, A. dingo, and A. longitheca by the presence of spermathecae with slightly bent lateral vesicles (Fig. 47 L; cf. Figs 35, 38, 43). Females of A. rupicola can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum and A. mulgana by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles terminating in narrower ends (Fig. 47 L; cf. Figs 40, 45). Females of A. rupicola can be distinguished from those of A. camara by the presence of a darker body colouration and spermathecae with longer vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 47 A – L; cf. Fig. 107). Females of A. rupicola can be distinguished from those of A. briggsi by the presence of spermathecae with less elongate lateral and medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width <0.65) (Fig. 47 L; cf. Fig. 37).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFC9210AFDE0FCA8CE696529.taxon	discussion	Remarks See the key to complexes and Figures 3 – 5 for diagnostic information. In life, spiders of the barakula - complex vary from dark tan to almost black, and are fairly uniform in colour over the carapace and legs (Fig. 8). Females of the barakula - complex generally have reflective bronze setae on the carapace, and sometimes also on the dorsal abdomen. Male colour and setation in life is unknown. Spiders of this complex generally construct an open, silk-lined burrow with some silk spilling out from the entrance, sometimes with a slightly built up ‘ collar’ of soil around the entrance, and with a hidden secondary ‘ wishbone’ entrance. The entrance can be large relative to the spider that inhabits it (see the image of an A. barakula sp. nov. individual in its burrow entrance in Fig. 8).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFCA210DFD1EF957CF41621A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. barakula sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. ammolithica sp. nov. and A. lambkinae sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that is relatively straight, a triangular tibial spur (rather than more digitiform), and a thin metatarsus I (metatarsus I length / width> 3.9) with an unpronounced heel (Fig. 50 A – Q). Males of A. barakula can be distinguished from those of A. lambkinae by the presence of a narrower sternum (sternum length / width> 1.4) and a less pronounced heel on metatarsus I (Fig. 50 A – Q; cf. Fig. 53). Males of A. barakula can be distinguished from those of A. ammolithica by the presence of more laterally-positioned posterior sternal sigilla (distance of posterior sigilla from sternum centre / sternum length ~ 0.26; cf. ~ 0.17 in A. ammolithica), and a thinner tibia I (tibia I length / width ~ 3.5; cf. ~ 3.2 in A. ammolithica) (Fig. 50 H, P; cf. Fig. 49). Females of A. barakula sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. braemar sp. nov., A. lambkinae sp. nov., and A. truncata sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and medial vesicles with few bends (usually one or two), and a narrow sternum (sternum length / width> 1.3) (Fig. 51 A – L). Females of A. barakula can be distinguished from those of A. lambkinae and A. truncata by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles with a wide base and distinct, slightly wider crowns (Fig. 51 L; cf. Figs 54, 55). Females of A. barakula can be distinguished from those of A. braemar by the presence of spermathecae with shorter medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length ~ 0.8; cf. ~ 1.2 in A. braemar) (Fig. 51 L; cf. Fig. 52).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFD12111FDE6FEAFCA03630E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. lambkinae sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. ammolithica sp. nov. and A. barakula sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that is relatively straight, a triangular tibial spur (rather than more digitiform), and a thin metatarsus I (metatarsus I length / width> 3.9) with an unpronounced heel (Fig. 53 A – Q). Males of A. lambkinae can be distinguished from those of A. ammolithica and A. barakula by the presence of a wider sternum (sternum length / width ~ 1.3; cf.> 1.4) and a more pronounced heel on metatarsus I (Fig. 53 A – Q; cf. Figs 49 – 50). Females of A. lambkinae sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. barakula sp. nov., A. braemar sp. nov., and A. truncata sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and medial vesicles with few bends (usually one or two), and a narrow sternum (sternum length / width> 1.3) (Fig. 54 A – L). Females of A. lambkinae can be distinguished from those of A. barakula and A. braemar by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles without distinct, widened crowns (Fig. 54 L; cf. Fig. 51). Females of A. lambkinae can be distinguished from those of A. truncata by the presence of spermathecae with more elongate lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / width ~ 3.6; cf. ~ 1.6 in A. truncata) and strongly bent medial vesicles with distinct crowns (Fig. 54 L; cf. Fig. 55).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFD52116FDF5FDFCCE6961AB.taxon	discussion	Remarks See the key to complexes and Figures 3 – 5 for diagnostic information. In life, spiders of the robertsorum - complex have a dark carapace and chelicerae, a brown abdomen, and bicoloured legs, with dark femora and light orange distal segments and coxae (Fig. 9). Females of the robertsorum - complex generally have reflective bronze setae on the carapace and dorsal abdomen and may also have slight banding on the dorsal abdomen (Fig. 9). Male colour and setation in life is unknown. Spiders of this complex generally make an open, silk-lined burrow without silk outside of the entrance, with the entrance often on an angle, and with a hidden secondary ‘ wishbone’ entrance. The burrows are sometimes found in areas with a leaf-litter layer, and indeed the entrance may be somewhat embedded in the leaf-litter (Fig. 9).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

Males of A. calida can be distinguished from those of A. tropicana by the presence of thinner leg and pedipalp segments (e. g., metatarsus I length / width> 4) (Fig. 56 J – K, N – Q; cf. Fig. 62). Males of A. calida can be distinguished from those of A. cassowariensis by the presence of a more elongate palp tibia (palp tibia length / width ~ 2.6; cf. 2.3 in A. cassowariensis) (Fig. 56 J – K cf. Fig. 59). Females of A. calida sp. nov. are unknown.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

Males of A. carina can be distinguished from those of A. calida, A. cassowariensis, and A. tropicana by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 2) (Fig. 57 L – M; cf. Figs 56, 59, 62). Males of A. carina can be distinguished from those of A. harmoniosa and A. robertsorum by the presence of a distally-positioned tibial spur (distance to spur / tibia length ~ 0.71) (Fig. 57 P; cf. Figs 60 – 61). Females of A. carina can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. tropicana sp. nov. by the presence of bicoloured legs, with darker femurs and lighter distal segments, and spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) that are laterally angled, and medial vesicles that are shorter or about equal in length to the lateral vesicles, and curve gradually from a medial to a lateral angle (Fig. 58 J – L). Females of A. carina can be distinguished from those of A. tropicana by the presence of spermathecae with longer medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length ~ 1; cf. ~ 0.7 in A. tropicana) (Fig. 58 L; cf.

038B878BFFDB211FFDFDFBD1CF7E6425.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. cassowariensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. calida sp. nov., A. carina, A. harmoniosa sp. nov., A. robertsorum, and A. tropicana sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), and the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that is thin, with a sharp bend near its base before a relatively straight distal section (Fig. 59 L – M). Males of A. cassowariensis can be distinguished from those of A. carina, A. harmoniosa, and A. robertsorum by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length <2) (Fig. 59 L – M; cf. Figs 57, 60, 61). Males of A. cassowariensis can be distinguished from those of A. tropicana by the presence of thinner leg and pedipalp segments (e. g., metatarsus I length / width> 4) (Fig. 59 J – K, N – Q; cf. Fig. 62). Males of A. cassowariensis can be distinguished from those of A. calida by the presence of a less elongate palp tibia (palp tibia length / width ~ 2.3; cf. 2.6 in A. calida) (Fig. 59 J – K; cf.

038B878BFFDE2122FD1DFB3EC99061AA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. tropicana sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. calida sp. nov., A. carina, A. cassowariensis sp. nov., A. harmoniosa sp. nov., and A. robertsorum by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), and the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that is thin, with a sharp bend near its base before a relatively straight distal section (Fig. 62 L – M). Males of A. tropicana can be distinguished from those of A. carina, A. harmoniosa, and A. robertsorum by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length <2) (Fig. 62 L – M; cf. Figs 57, 60 – 61). Males of A. tropicana can be distinguished from those of A. calida and A. cassowariensis by the presence of thicker leg and pedipalp segments (e. g., metatarsus I length / width <4) (Fig. 62 J – K, N – Q; cf. Figs 56, 59). Females of A. tropicana sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. carina by the presence of bicoloured legs, with darker femurs and lighter distal segments, and spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) that are laterally angled, and medial vesicles that are shorter or about equal in length to the lateral vesicles, and and curve gradually from a medial to a lateral angle (Fig. 63 J – L). Females of A. tropicana can be distinguished those of from A. carina by the presence of spermathecae with shorter medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length ~ 0.7; cf. ~ 1 in A. carina) (Fig. 63 L; cf. Fig. 58).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

The few specimens of the barrema - complex that we have seen in life range in colour from tan to dark brown (Fig. 10). A female of A. barrema had striking bronze setation covering its dorsal carapace, chelicerae, abdomen and femora (see Fig. 10). The burrow of this same spider was an open, silk-lined burrow without silk outside of the entrance, with the entrance at an angle, and with a hidden secondary ‘ wishbone’ entrance. The burrow was found on relatively flat ground with a leaf-litter layer and was embedded in the leaf litter (Fig. 10).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFE22125FDF7FB2CCF3864C5.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. barrema can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. inimica and A. magnifica sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a copulatory organ with the bulb tapering into a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) with a slightly thicker basal section that narrows and curves sharply at about 0.6 of length, a patch of thicker setae proximally of asetose depression, and the absence of a pronounced, sharp heel on metatarsus I (as in pallida - complex species) (Fig. 64 A – Q). Males of A. barrema can be distinguished from those of A. inimica by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5; cf. ~ 1.2) (Fig. 64 L – M; cf. Fig. 67). Males of A. barrema can be distinguished from those of A. magnifica by the presence of a longer asetose depression on the palp tibia (depression length / tibia length ~ 0.7; cf. ~ 0.6 in A. magnifica) and a thinner metatarsus I (metatarsus I length / width ~ 4.5; cf. ~ 3.5 in A. magnifica) (Fig. 64 K, Q; cf. Fig. 69). Females of A. barrema can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. distincta and A. magnifica sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) that don’t curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length <0.5) (Fig. 65 D, L). Females of A. barrema can be distinguished from those of A. magnifica by the presence of smaller posterior sigilla on the sternum (posterior sigilla length / sternum length ~ 0.14; cf. ~ 0.18) and spermathecae with less triangular, more tubular lateral vesicles (Fig. 65 G – H, L; cf. Fig. 70). Females of A. barrema can be distinguished from those of A. distincta by the presence of spermathecae with less elongate lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / width ~ 1.84; cf. ~ 1.95 in A. distincta), with slightly widened crowns (Fig. 65 L; cf. Fig. 66).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFE22125FDF7FB2CCF3864C5.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history Aname barrema has a wide distribution in northern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland, predominantly in the Brigalow Belt South bioregion. It extends from Northstar in northern New South Wales north to Eidsvold in Queensland, and from Miles east to Maryborough (Fig. 10). It constructs an open, silk-lined burrow without silk outside of the entrance, on an angle, and with a hidden secondary ‘ wishbone’ entrance (Fig. 10).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFE72124FDCCFD65CA5060DD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. distincta are unknown. Females of A. distincta can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. barrema and A. magnifica sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) that don’t curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length <0.5) (Fig. 66 D, L). Females of A. distincta can be distinguished from those of A. magnifica by the presence of smaller posterior sigilla on the sternum (posterior sigilla length / sternum length ~ 0.14; cf. ~ 0.18) and spermathecae with less triangular, more tubular lateral vesicles (Fig. 66 G – H, L; cf. Fig. 70). Females of A. distincta can be distinguished from those of A. barrema by the presence of spermathecae with more elongate lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / width ~ 1.95; cf. ~ 1.84 in A. barrema), with narrower crowns (Fig. 66 L; cf. Fig. 65).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFE62129FDF2F97ACE7861AA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. inimica can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. barrema and A. magnifica sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a copulatory organ with the bulb tapering into a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) with a slightly thicker basal section that narrows and curves sharply at about 0.6 of length, a patch of thicker setae proximally of asetose depression, and the absence of a pronounced, sharp heel on metatarsus I (as in pallida - complex species) (Fig. 67 A – Q). Males of A. inimica can be distinguished from those of A. barrema and A. magnifica by the presence of a short embolus (embolus length / bulb length ~ 1.2; cf.> 1.5) (Fig. 67 L – M; cf. Figs 64, 69). Females of A. inimica can be distinguished from all species for which females are known by the presence of spermathecae with two short vesicles (lateral vesicle length / carapace length ~ 0.05) of roughly equal length, with both vesicles being relatively straight and angled laterally (Fig. 68 L).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFEA212EFDE3FEAFCF5C6200.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. magnifica sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. barrema and A. inimica by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a copulatory organ with the bulb tapering into a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) with a slightly thicker basal section that narrows and curves sharply at about 0.6 of length, a patch of thicker setae proximally of asetose depression, and the absence of a pronounced, sharp heel on metatarsus I (as in pallida - complex species) (Fig. 69 A – Q). Males of A. magnifica can be distinguished from those of A. inimica by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5; cf. ~ 1.2) (Fig. 69 L – M; cf. Fig. 67). Males of A. magnifica can be distinguished from those of A. barrema by the presence of a shorter asetose depression on the palp tibia (depression length / tibia length ~ 0.6; cf. ~ 0.7 in A. barrema) and a thicker metatarsus I (metatarsus I length / width ~ 3.5; cf. ~ 4.5 in A. barrema) (Fig. 69 K, Q; cf. Fig. 64). Females of A. magnifica sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. barrema and A. distincta by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) that don’t curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length <0.5) (Fig. 70 D, L). Females of A. magnifica can be distinguished from those of A. barrema and A. distincta by the presence of larger posterior sigilla on the sternum (posterior sigilla length / sternum length ~ 0.18; cf. ~ 0.14) and spermathecae with triangular lateral vesicles with wide bases tapering to narrow ends (Fig. 70 G – H, L; cf. Figs 65 – 66).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFEC212CFDE3FB27CE6963AA.taxon	discussion	Remarks See the key to complexes and Figures 3 – 5 for diagnostic information. In life, warialda - complex species range in colour from a light tan ‘ coffee’ colour, to almost black. They tend to grow quite large, and their carapace has only inconspicuous setation, compared to the conspicuous reflective setation present in species of many of the other complexes present in eastern Australia (Fig. 11; cf. Figs 6 – 10). They construct an open, silk-lined burrow with silk extending out from the entrance, with a short hidden ‘ wishbone’ entrance with a thick, white sheath of silk near the top (see Fig. 11, image of A. scutitheca sp. nov. burrow) although this is covered with soil and can only be seen when the burrow is excavated. The burrow entrance is often quite conspicuous, sometimes with a soil mound around the entrance, or with the entrance embedded in low vegetation (Fig. 11).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFEE2131FD17F980CF3F6244.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. bifaceta sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. occivillosa sp. nov., A. scutitheca sp. nov., A. villosa, and A. warialda by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that is relatively straight, a short tibial megaspine (megaspine length / tibia length <0.2), and three or more spines on the prolateral patellae of the pedipalp and leg I (Fig. 71 A – Q). Males of A. bifaceta can be distinguished from those of A. occivillosa and A. villosa by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 2.5) and a longer asetose depression on the palp tibia (depression length / palp tibia length> 0.6) (Fig. 71 J-M; cf. Figs 74, 78). Males of A. bifaceta can be distinguished from those of A. scutitheca by the presence of a tibia I that stays about the same width from the proximal end to the base of the tibial spur when in lateral view and a less spiny palp tibia (Fig. 71 J – K, N – P; cf. Fig. 76). Males of A. bifaceta can be distinguished from those of A. warialda by the presence of a shorter asetose depression on the palp tibia (depression length / palp tibia length ~ 0.61), and the absence of a knuckle at the base of the tibial spur (Fig. 71 J – K, N – P; cf. Fig. 81). Females of A. bifaceta sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. scutitheca sp. nov. and A. warialda by the presence of spermathecae with a single elongate, undulating vesicle (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.5) (Fig. 72 L). Females of A. bifaceta can be distinguished from those of A. scutitheca by the absence of a large rounded extension of the posterior genital plate (“ scute ”) over the epigastric furrow (Fig. 72 D, L; cf. Fig. 77). Females of A. bifaceta can be distinguished from those of A. warialda by the presence of smaller, shorter spermathecae (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width ~ 0.5; cf. ~ 0.8 in A. warialda) (Fig. 72 L; cf. Fig. 82).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFEE2131FD17F980CF3F6244.taxon	etymology	Etymology The specific epithet ‘ bifaceta ’ combines the Latin ‘ faceta ’, meaning ‘ facet’, with the prefix ‘ bi - ’, meaning ‘ two’, in reference to the bicoloured nature of the species, which has a red carapace and darker legs, and also has lighter red radial stripes along the edge of the caput which contrast to the darker red colour on the rest of the carapace. The name also alludes to gemstones, referencing the distribution of the species near the ‘ Gemfields’ region of central Queensland.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFEE2131FD17F980CF3F6244.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history Aname bifaceta sp. nov. has a wide distribution in central Queensland, in the Brigalow Belt North bioregion, from the town of Emerald west at least to Alpha. Juvenile specimens collected much further north from near Charters Towers have been tentatively linked to this species based on morphology and molecular data, presumably representing the northern limit of its distribution (Fig. 11). It constructs an open, silk-lined burrow with silk spilling out from the entrance, sometimes with a built-up mound of soil around the entrance. The burrow has a short, hidden ‘ wishbone’ entrance, which, when excavated, is revealed to terminate in a distinctly thick, white sheath of silk (Fig. 11).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFF52135FDE6FEAFC86061AA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. occivillosa sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. bifaceta sp. nov., A. scutitheca sp. nov., A. villosa, and A. warialda by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that is relatively straight, a short tibial megaspine (megaspine length / tibia length <0.2), and three or more spines on the prolateral patellae of the pedipalp and leg I (Fig. 74 A – Q). Males of A. occivillosa can be distinguished from those of A. bifaceta, A. scutitheca, and A. warialda by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length <2) and a shorter asetose depression on the pedipalp tibia (depression length / pedipalp tibia length <0.6) (Fig. 74 J – M; cf. Figs 71, 76, 81). Males of A. occivillosa can be distinguished from those of A. villosa by the presence of a sharper heel on metatarsus I and a more curved embolus (Fig. 74 L, Q; cf. Fig. 78). Females of A. occivillosa sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. boreovillosa sp. nov. and A. villosa by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long, undulating lateral vesicle (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and tightly undulating medial vesicles (Fig. 75 L). Females of A. occivillosa can be distinguished from those of A. boreovillosa by the presence of spermathecae with longer lateral vesicles with narrower or lessrounded crowns (lateral vesicle length / width> 2.9) (Fig. 75 L; cf. Fig. 73). Females of A. occivillosa can be distinguished from those of A. villosa by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles with wide bases and asymmetrical crowns projecting laterally from the ends (Fig. 75 L; cf. Fig. 79 – 80).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFF52135FDE6FEAFC86061AA.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history Aname occivillosa sp. nov. has a wide distribution in central Queensland, in the Brigalow Belt South bioregion. Its known range extends from Gwambegwine in the south-east to Carnarvon Gorge in the north-west and near Blackdown Tableland in the north-east (Fig. 11). It constructs an open, silk-lined burrow with silk spilling out from the entrance, sometimes with a built-up mound of soil around the entrance. The burrow has a short, hidden ‘ wishbone’ entrance, which, when excavated, is revealed to terminate in a distinctly thick, white sheath of silk (Fig. 11).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFF6213AFDE0FEAFC90B62BE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. scutitheca sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. bifaceta sp. nov., A. occivillosa sp. nov., A. villosa, and A. warialda by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), a short tibial megaspine (megaspine length / tibia length <0.2), and three or more spines on the prolateral patellae of the pedipalp and leg I (Fig. 76 A – P). Males of A. scutitheca can be distinguished from those of A. occivillosa and A. villosa by the presence of a longer asetose depression on the palp tibia (depression length / palp tibia length> 0.6) (Fig. 76 J – K; cf. Figs 74, 78). Males of A. scutitheca can be distinguished from those of A. bifaceta and A. warialda by the presence of a tibia I that widens from the proximal end to the base of the tibial spur when in lateral view and a relatively spiny palp tibia (Fig. 76 N, P; cf. Figs 71, 81). Females of A. scutitheca sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known by the presence of a large rounded extension of the posterior genital plate (“ scute ”) over the epigastric furrow (Fig. 77 D, L).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFF6213AFDE0FEAFC90B62BE.taxon	etymology	Etymology The specific epithet ‘ scutitheca ’ is an adjective formed from the Latin ‘ scutum ’, meaning ‘ shield’, and ‘ theca ’, meaning ‘ cover’ or ‘ case ‘ and alluding to the spermathecae. Combined, the epithet references the posterior extension of the epigynal plate that covers the epigastric furrow in adult females of this species.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFF6213AFDE0FEAFC90B62BE.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history Aname scutitheca sp. nov. has a wide distribution in northern Queensland, in the Einasleigh Uplands bioregion, from Irvinebank and Silver Valley, west to the Forty Mile Scrub and Undara Volcanic National Parks, and north to near Mareeba (Fig. 11). It constructs an open, silk-lined burrow with silk spilling out from the entrance, sometimes with a built-up mound of soil around the entrance. The burrow has a short, hidden ‘ wishbone’ entrance, which, when excavated, is revealed to terminate in a distinctly thick, white sheath of silk (Fig. 11).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFFF8213FFE72FA9ACE5461AA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. villosa can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. bifaceta sp. nov., A. occivillosa sp. nov., A. scutitheca sp. nov., and A. warialda by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that is relatively straight, a short tibial megaspine (megaspine length / tibia length <0.2), and three or more spines on the prolateral patellae of the pedipalp and leg I (Fig. 78 A – Q). Males of A. villosa can be distinguished from those of A. bifaceta, A. scutitheca, and A. warialda by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length <2) and a shorter asetose depression on the pedipalp tibia (depression length / pedipalp tibia length <0.6) (Fig. 78 J-M; cf. Figs 71, 76, 81). Males of A. villosa can be distinguished from those of A. occivillosa by the presence of a more rounded heel on metatarsus I and a straighter embolus (Fig. 78 L, Q; cf. Fig. 74). Females of A. villosa can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. boreovillosa sp. nov. and A. occivillosa sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long, undulating lateral vesicle (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and tightly undulating medial vesicles (Fig. 79 L, 80 L). Females of A. villosa can be distinguished from those of A. boreovillosa by the presence of spermathecae with longer lateral vesicles with narrower or lessrounded crowns (lateral vesicle length / width> 2.9) (Figs 79 L, 80 L; cf. Fig. 73). Females of A. villosa can be distinguished from those of A. occivillosa by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles with narrower bases and relatively symmetrical, distally-flattened crowns (Figs 79 L, 80 L; cf. Fig. 75).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFFC21C3FDF5FEAFC9F96290.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. warialda can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. bifaceta sp. nov., A. occivillosa sp. nov., A. scutitheca sp. nov., and A. villosa by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that is relatively straight, a short tibial megaspine (megaspine length / tibia length <0.2), and three or more spines on the prolateral patellae of the pedipalp and leg I (Fig. 81 A – Q). Males of A. warialda can be distinguished from those of A. occivillosa and A. villosa by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 2.5) and a longer asetose depression on the palp tibia (depression length / palp tibia length> 0.6) (Fig. 81 J – M; cf. Figs 74, 78). Males of A. warialda can be distinguished from those of A. scutitheca by the presence of a tibia I that stays about the same width from the proximal end to the base of the tibial spur when in lateral view and a less spiny palp tibia (Fig. 81 J – K, N – P; cf. Fig. 76). Males of A. warialda can be distinguished from those of A. bifaceta by the presence of a longer asetose depression on palp tibia (depression length / palp tibia length ~ 0.71), and a knuckle at the base of the tibial spur (Fig. 81 J – K, N – P; cf. Fig. 71). Females of A. warialda can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. bifaceta sp. nov. and A. scutitheca sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with a single elongate, undulating vesicle (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.5) (Fig. 82 L). Females of A. warialda can be distinguished from those of A. scutitheca by the absence of a large rounded extension of the posterior genital plate (“ scute ”) over the epigastric furrow (Fig. 82 D, L; cf. Fig. 77). Females of A. warialda can be distinguished from those of A. bifaceta by the presence of larger, longer spermathecae (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width ~ 0.8; cf. ~ 0.5 in A. bifaceta) (Fig. 82 L; cf. Fig. 72).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFFFC21C3FDF5FEAFC9F96290.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history Aname warialda has a wide distribution in northern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland, in the Brigalow Belt South, Nandewar and New England Tablelands bioregions, from Tamworth north to Carnarvon National Park, and east to Toowoomba (Fig. 11). It constructs an open, silk-lined burrow with silk spilling out from the entrance, sometimes with a built-up mound of soil around the entrance. The burrow has a short, hidden ‘ wishbone’ entrance, which, when excavated, is revealed to terminate in a distinctly thick, white sheath of silk (Fig. 11).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF0121C1FDC7FAB6CE696347.taxon	discussion	Remarks See the key to complexes and Figures 3 – 5 for diagnostic information. In life, rubrochelicera - complex species are quite light in colour, ranging from pallid to tan-brown, although their chelicerae can be much darker in colour, depending on the species (Fig. 12). Their burrow is particularly unusual in its absence of a conspicuous silk lining, and usually also the absence of a secondary wishbone entrance (Fig. 12). However, some specimens have been collected with a secondary entrance, and when present, this consists of a secondary burrow shaft that runs directly adjacent to the main burrow.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF0321C7FD17FAE0C9B267D1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. fossoria sp. nov. are unknown. Females of A. fossoria sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. fuscochelicera sp. nov., A. nigrochelicera sp. nov., A. nigrotarsa sp. nov., A. rubrochelicera sp. nov., and A. savannensis sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with very short, wide lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width <0.25) and thinner medial vesicles projecting from the ventral face of the lateral vesicles (Fig. 83 A – L). Females of A. fossoria can be distinguished from those of A. nigrochelicera, A. rubrochelicera, and A. savannensis by the presence of spermathecae with tightly undulating medial vesicles (Fig. 83 L; cf. Figs 88, 91, 93). Females of A. fossoria can be distinguished from those of A. fuscochelicera by the presence of lighter red chelicerae (Fig. 83 A, C; cf. Fig. 85). Females of A. fossoria can be distinguished from those of A. nigrotarsa by the presence of spermathecae with less elongate medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / width <5) and anterior legs without dark tarsi and distal metatarsi (Fig. 83 J – L; cf. Fig. 89).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFF0321C7FD17FAE0C9B267D1.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history Aname fossoria sp. nov. occurs in central-northern Queensland, near the border of the Mitchell Grass Downs and Gulf Plains bioregions, and further east in the Desert Uplands bioregion. It is known from two locations: the type location near the Richmond Fossil Site, and much further east, just west of Charters Towers, where a female has been tentatively linked to this species (Fig. 12). The form of burrows constructed by spiders of this species is unknown, but is likely to be similar to that of other rubrochelicera - complex species (Fig. 12).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF0521C5FDFFFE74CE686308.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. fuscochelicera sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. inglewood sp. nov., A. nigrochelicera sp. nov., and A. rubrochelicera sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a short embolus (embolus length / bulb length <1.5) that is short, thick, and relatively straight, and a small, triangular tibial spur (Fig. 84 L – Q). Males of A. fuscochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. nigrochelicera and A. rubrochelicera by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 0.9) (Fig. 84 L – M; cf. Figs 87, 90). Males of A. fuscochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. inglewood by the presence of a shorter, less curved embolus (embolus length / bulb length <1) (Fig. 84 L – M; cf. Fig. 86). Females of A. fuscochelicera sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. fossoria sp. nov., A. nigrochelicera sp. nov., A. nigrotarsa sp. nov., A. rubrochelicera sp. nov., and A. savannensis sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with very short, wide lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width <0.25) and thinner medial vesicles projecting from the ventral face of the lateral vesicles (Fig. 85 A – L). Females of A. fuscochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. nigrochelicera, A. rubrochelicera, and A. savannensis by the presence of spermathecae with tightly undulating medial vesicles (Fig. 85 L; cf. Figs 88, 91, 93). Females of A. fuscochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. fossoria and A. nigrotarsa by the presence of dark red-brown chelicerae (Fig. 85 A, C; cf. Figs 83, 89).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFF0921C9FDFFFE5ACAC66330.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. nigrochelicera sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. fuscochelicera sp. nov., A. inglewood sp. nov., and A. rubrochelicera sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a short embolus (embolus length / bulb length <1.5) that is short, thick, and relatively straight, and a small, triangular tibial spur (Fig. 87 L – P). Males of A. nigrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. inglewood by the presence of a shorter, less curved embolus (embolus length / bulb length <1) (Fig. 87 L – M; cf. Fig. 86). Males of A. nigrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. fuscochelicera by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length <0.8) (Fig. 87 L – M; cf. Fig. 84). Males of A. nigrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. rubrochelicera by the presence of a shorter proximal excavation and longer distal pad on metatarsus I (excavation length / metatarsus length ~ 0.43; cf. ~ 0.53 in A. rubrochelicera) (Fig. 87 L, Q; cf. Fig. 90). Females of A. nigrochelicera sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. fossoria sp. nov., A. fuscochelicera sp. nov., A. nigrotarsa sp. nov., A. rubrochelicera sp. nov., and A. savannensis sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with very short, wide lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width <0.25) and thinner medial vesicles projecting from the ventral face of the lateral vesicles (Fig. 88 A – L). Females of A. nigrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. fossoria, A. fuscochelicera, and A. nigrotarsa by the presence of spermathecae with straight medial vesicles (Fig. 88 L; cf. Figs 83, 85, 89). Females of A. nigrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. rubrochelicera and A. savannensis by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles with narrow, round crowns (Fig. 88 L; cf. Figs 91, 93).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G. (2025): An integrative systematic revision of the wishbone spiders (Araneae: Anamidae: Aname L.

038B878BFF0D21CCFDFDFC1FC8C867A5.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. rubrochelicera sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which males are known except A. fuscochelicera sp. nov., A. inglewood sp. nov., and A. nigrochelicera sp. nov. by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a short embolus (embolus length / bulb length <1.5) that is short, thick, and relatively straight, and a small, triangular tibial spur (Fig. 90 L – Q). Males of A. rubrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. inglewood by the presence of a shorter, less curved embolus (embolus length / bulb length <1) (Fig. 90 L – M; cf. Fig. 86). Males of A. rubrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. fuscochelicera by the presence of a shorter embolus (embolus length / bulb length <0.8) (Fig. 90 L – M; cf. Fig. 84). Males of A. rubrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. nigrochelicera by the presence of a longer proximal excavation and shorter distal pad on metatarsus I (excavation length / metatarsus length ~ 0.53; cf. ~ 0.43 in A. nigrochelicera) (Fig. 90 Q; cf.

Females of A. rubrochelicera sp. nov. can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. fossoria sp. nov., A. fuscochelicera sp. nov., A. nigrochelicera sp. nov., A. nigrotarsa sp. nov., and A. savannensis sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with very short, wide lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width <0.25) and thinner medial vesicles projecting from the ventral face of the lateral vesicles (Fig. 91 A – L). Females of A. rubrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. fossoria, A. fuscochelicera, and A. nigrotarsa by the presence of spermathecae with straight medial vesicles (Fig. 91 L; cf. Figs 83, 85, 89). Females of A. rubrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. nigrochelicera by the presence of spermathecae with lateral vesicles without narrow, round crowns (Fig. 91 L; cf. Fig. 88). Females of A. rubrochelicera can be distinguished from those of A. savannensis by the presence of spermathecae with medial vesicles with distally-flattened crowns (Fig. 91 L; cf.

038B878BFF1021D2FE41FAD9C9AC60B1.taxon	discussion	Remarks Here, we define minor complexes as those containing no more than three species, for which we have very little information. Minor complexes identified in this study include the callitra - complex (two species), the aurantella - complex (three species), the mariala - complex (two species), the flexicaudula - complex (two species), and the savannella - complex (two species). Only male specimens are known for these minor complexes. Because each contains so few species, we have not provided diagnostic keys to individual species within these complexes.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

Males of A. gilbertensis can be distinguished from those of A. aurantella by the presence of a more sinuous metatarsus I, with a longer proximal excavation (excavation length / metatarsus length ~ 0.5; cf. ~ 0.4) (Fig. 97 Q; cf. Fig. 96). Males of A. gilbertensis can be distinguished from those of A. pyroensis by the presence of a thicker, more strongly curving embolus (Fig. 97 L – M; cf. Fig. 98).

038B878BFF2221E4FDF2F8C3C9BF60F9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of A. camara can be distinguished from all species for which males are known by a moderate to large body size (carapace length> 4.0 mm), the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length> 1.5) that is very strongly curved, and a small, tight patch of thorn-like setae on the retrolateral palp tibia (Figs 105 J – M, 106 J – M). Females of A. camara can be distinguished from all species for which females are known except A. aurensis sp. nov., A. briggsi sp. nov., A. dingo sp. nov., A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. longitheca, A. mulgana sp. nov., and A. rupicola sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width> 0.25) and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length> 1) that project medially or posteromedially, before undulating towards the anterior (Fig. 107 L). Females of A. camara can be distinguished from those of A. aurensis, A. briggsi, A. dingo, A. eddieorum, A. longitheca, A. mulgana, and A. rupicola by the presence of a light tan body colouration and spermathecae with relatively short vesicles (medial vesicle length / genitalia width ~ 0.3; cf.> 0.35) with widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns is roughly equal to the length of the lateral vesicles) (Fig. 107 A – L; cf. Figs 35, 37 – 38, 40, 43, 45, 47).	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.

038B878BFF2221E4FDF2F8C3C9BF60F9.taxon	discussion	Remarks A male specimen from further west within the same bioregion (QMB S 20402) is here linked with this species. The embolus shape is distinct; however, both emboli of the holotype male are damaged and may not reflect the original form. In all other respects, the two specimens are virtually identical, and we have therefore designated them as conspecific.	en	Wilson, Jeremy D., Harvey, Mark S., Simmons, Leigh W., Rix, Michael G.
