(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. 2I 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.</p><p>Description</p><p>See Harvey et al.

Koch 1873	<div><p>Aname pallida -complex</p><p>Figs 1, 3A, 4F, 5A, K–L, 6, 15–33</p><p>Remarks</p><p>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).</p><p>Distribution</p><p>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.</p><p>Composition</p><p>The pallida -complex includes nine described species: Aname pallida L. Koch, 1873, A. attenuata (Rainbow &amp; Pulleine, 1918), A. blackdownensis Raven, 1985, A. convoluta sp. nov., A. ferruginea sp. nov., A. giraulti (Rainbow, 1914), A. intermedia sp. nov., A. platensis sp. nov., and A. vigilata sp. nov.</p><p>Key to species in the Aname pallida -complex</p><p>Note: females are unknown for A. vigilata sp. nov.</p><p>1.

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. 15K–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&gt;2.2), and a shorter, more triangular tibial spur (Fig. 15J–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. 15L; cf. Fig. 27).</p><p>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&gt;0.25) that curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length/ lateral vesicle length &lt;0.5) (Fig. 16D, 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&gt;2.0) (Fig. 16L; 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.

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).</p><p>Remarks</p><p>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.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B878BFF952154FDF4FEAFCA826085	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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. 18K–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. 18L; 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 &lt;2.0) (Fig. 18L; cf. Fig. 23).</p><p>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&gt;0.25), and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length&gt;1.0) that project at an antero-medial angle (Figs 19L, 20L). 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 &lt;0.5) (Figs 19L, 20L; 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 19B, D, 20B, 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 19L, 20L; cf. Fig. 32).</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♀; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=151.11667&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-25.366667" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 151.11667/lat -25.366667)">Eidsvold</a>; 25°22′ S, 151°07′ E; AMS KS8213.</p><p>Other material examined</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • 1 ♂; Fraser Island, Orchid Beach, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=153.31667&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-24.966667" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 153.31667/lat -24.966667)">Eliza Avenue</a>; 24°58′ S, 153°19′ E; 20 Aug.–17 Dec. 1997; R.

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).</p><p>Remarks</p><p>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 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B878BFF96215FFE4EF8A2CFA3623B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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. 23K–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&gt;2) (Fig. 23L; 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. 23L–M; cf. Fig. 29).</p><p>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&gt;0.25), and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length&gt;1) that project at an antero-medial angle (Fig. 24L). 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. &lt;0.5) (Fig. 24L; cf. Figs 19–20, 22, 32).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The specific epithet ‘ convoluta ’ is a Latin adjective meaning ‘coiled’ or ‘twisted’, in reference to the long, coiled medial receptacle of the female genitalia of this species.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=149.76666&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-24.8" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 149.76666/lat -24.8)">Brigalow Reserve Station</a>; 24°48′ S, 149°46′ E; 160 m a.s.l.; 28 Oct.–16 Dec. 2000; D.J.

Koch, 1873 – Raven 1981: figs 8–10, 14, 44–47, 49 (illustrated male QMB S696 [Rockhampton], females QMB S697 [Biloela], QMB S703 [Monto], and females from fig. 46 [Gin Gin], fig. 47 [Banana], fig. 49 [Gladstone], here identified as A. ferruginea sp. nov.).</p><p>Diagnosis</p><p>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&gt; 4.0 mm), and the presence of a long embolus (embolus length / bulb length&gt;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. 25Q). 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. 25K–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. 25J–Q; cf. Figs 15, 27).</p><p>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&gt;0.25) that curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length/ lateral vesicle length &lt;0.5) (Fig. 26D, 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 &lt;1.5) (Fig. 26L; cf. Figs 16, 28).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>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.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=150.51666&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-23.366667" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 150.51666/lat -23.366667)">Rockhampton</a>; 23°22′ S, 150°31′ E; 4 Dec. 1993; D.

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. 27K–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&gt;2.2), and a shorter, more triangular tibial spur (Fig. 27J–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. 27L; cf. Fig. 15).</p><p>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&gt;0.25) that curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length/ lateral vesicle length &lt;0.5) (Fig. 28D, 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&gt;2) (Fig. 28L; 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.

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.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B878BFFA5216BFDBEF916CA606454	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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 &lt;0.5) (Fig. 32L; 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. 32B, 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. 32L; cf.

Males of A. vigilata 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. 33K–M; 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. 33L–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 &lt;2) (Fig. 33L; 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. 33L; 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. 33B, D; cf. Fig. 21).</p><p>Females of A. vigilata sp. nov. are unknown.</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The specific epithet ‘ vigilata ’ is a Latin adjective meaning ‘vigilant’ or ‘watchful’, alluding to the use of Shoalwater Bay (where the species occurs) as a military training area.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♂; Shoalwater Bay, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=150.7&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-22.666666" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 150.7/lat -22.666666)">Manifold Road</a>, near <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=150.7&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-22.666666" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 150.7/lat -22.666666)">Manifold</a> ruins; 22°40′ S, 150°42′ E; 14 Aug. 1991; J.C.

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).</p><p>Distribution</p><p>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.</p><p>Composition</p><p>The eddieorum -complex includes nine described species: Aname aurensis sp. nov., A. briggsi sp. nov., A. dingo sp. nov., A. eddieorum sp. nov., A. hughenden sp. nov., A. longitheca Raven, 1985, A. mulgana sp. nov., A. rupicola sp. nov., and A. warrego sp. nov .. Based on the drawings of Hogg (1902), A. diversicolor likely also belongs to the eddieorum -complex; however, this species is not treated in this revision as the type specimen is lost, and we were not able to resample at the type locality. Two other potentially distinct species are shown in the phylogeny (Fig. 1) and on the map for this complex (Fig. 7), A. sp. “marlong”, and A. sp. “emerald”; however, further evidence is required to confirm that these species are distinct from others known from the area.</p><p>Key to species in the Aname eddieorum -complex</p><p>NB.

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. 34P; 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 &lt;2.5) (Fig. 34L–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. 34Q; cf. Fig. 46).</p><p>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&gt;0.25) and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length&gt;1) that project medially or posteromedially, before undulating anteriorly (Fig. 35L). 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. 35L; 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&gt; 0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 35A–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 &lt;0.65) (Fig. 35L; 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. 35L; 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 &lt;0.6), and the absence of dark patches of cuticle on the sternum, surrounding and lateral of the sigilla (Fig. 35G–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. 35A–L; cf. Fig. 38).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The specific epithet ‘ aurensis ’ is an adjective formed from the Latin ‘ aureus ’, meaning ‘golden’, and the suffix ‘- ensis ’, which signifies association with a place, referencing the distribution of this species in the Charters Towers region, an area that experienced a gold rush in the 19 th century.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=146.2&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-20.066668" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 146.2/lat -20.066668)">Charters Towers</a>; 20°04′ S, 146°12′ E; Dec. 2003; E.

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. 38L; 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&gt;0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 38A–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 &lt;0.65) (Fig. 38L; 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. 38L; 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 &lt;0.6), and the absence of dark patches of cuticle on the sternum, surrounding and lateral to the sigilla (Fig. 38G–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. 38A–L; cf. Fig. 35).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The specific epithet ‘ dingo ’ is a noun in apposition, referencing both the type locality of the species, near Dingo in central Queensland, and also the rich honey-red colour of the live spider, reminiscent of the colour of the Australian wild dog commonly called a ‘dingo’.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♀; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=149.2&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-23.633333" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 149.2/lat -23.633333)">Charlevue Road</a>, W of Dingo; 23°38′ S, 149°12′ E; 156 m a.s.l.; 20 Apr. 2023; J.D.

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. 39P; 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 &lt;3) (Fig. 39J–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. 39L–M; cf.

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. 40L; 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&gt;0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 40A–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. 40G–I; cf.

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. 42P; cf.

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. 43L; 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&gt; 0.6) and dark patches of cuticle on the sternum, surrounding and lateral of the sigilla (Fig. 43G–I, L; cf.

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&gt; 0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 43A–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 &lt;0.65) (Fig. 43L; 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. 43L; 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. 44P; 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&gt;2.5) (Fig. 44L–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. 44L–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. 44Q; cf. Fig. 36).</p><p>Females of A. mulgana 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. rupicola sp. nov. by the presence of spermathecae with two vesicles, with relatively long and straight lateral vesicles (lateral vesicle length / genitalia width&gt;0.25) and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length&gt; 1) that project medially or posteromedially, before undulating anteriorly (Fig. 45L). Females of A. mulgana 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. 45L; cf. Figs 35, 37, 38, 43, 47). Females of A. mulgana 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&gt;0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 45A–L; cf. Fig. 107). Females of A. mulgana can be distinguished from those of A. eddieorum by the absence of bald patches on the sternum, lateral of the sigilla, and the presence of thorn-like setae around the anterior edges of the sternum, and more angular medio-ventral corners of the coxae (Fig. 45G–I; cf. Fig. 40).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The specific epithet ‘ mulgana ’ is an adjective formed from ‘Mulga’, the common name of Acacia aneura, and the suffix ‘-ana’ signifying an association, referencing its occurrence in the Mulga Lands bioregion of central-southern Queensland and north-western New South Wales.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=146.13333&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-26.383333" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 146.13333/lat -26.383333)">Charleville</a>; 26°23′ S, 146°08′ E; Oct. 1978; R.C.

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. 46P; 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 &lt;2.5) (Fig. 46L–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. 46Q; cf. Fig. 34).</p><p>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&gt;0.25) and long medial vesicles (medial vesicle length/ lateral vesicle length&gt;1) that project medially or posteromedially, before undulating anteriorly (Fig. 47L). 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. 47L; 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. 47L; 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&gt;0.35) with less widely-spaced crowns (distance between crowns less than length of lateral vesicles) (Fig. 47A–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 &lt;0.65) (Fig. 47L; cf. Fig. 37).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The specific epithet ‘ rupicola ’ is a Latin adjective combining ‘ rupes ’, meaning ‘ravine’, and the suffix ‘- cola ’, meaning ‘dweller’ or ‘inhabitant’, referencing the distribution of this species in and around Carnarvon Gorge in central Queensland.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=148.08333&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-24.116667" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 148.08333/lat -24.116667)">Springsure</a>; 24°07′ S, 148°05′ E; 28 Nov. 2000; T.

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).</p><p>Distribution</p><p>The barakula -complex is currently known to occur only in the Brigalow Belt South bioregion of south-eastern Queensland, and species tend to have quite small natural ranges (Fig. 8). In the Mount Moffatt region of Carnarvon National Park, two species ( A. ammolithica sp. nov. and A. lambkinae sp. nov.) appear to occur in sympatry (unusually for Aname in the same complex).</p><p>Composition</p><p>The barakula -complex includes five described species: Aname ammolithica sp. nov., A. barakula sp. nov., A. braemar sp. nov., A. lambkinae sp. nov., and A. truncata sp. nov.</p><p>Key to species in the Aname barakula -complex</p><p>Note: males are unknown for A. braemar sp. nov., and A. truncata sp. nov., and females are unknown for A. ammolithica sp. nov.</p><p>1.

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).</p><p>Distribution</p><p>The robertsorum -complex is currently known only from north Queensland, in the Einasleigh Uplands and Wet Tropics bioregions.

Males of A. barrema can be distinguished from those of A. inimica by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length&gt;1.5; cf. ~ 1.2) (Fig. 64L– 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. 64K, Q; cf. Fig. 69).</p><p>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&gt;0.25) that don’t curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length &lt;0.5) (Fig. 65D, 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. 65G–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. 65L; cf.

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.&gt; 1.5) (Fig. 67L–M; cf. Figs 64, 69).</p><p>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. 68L).</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – New South Wales • ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=151.66667&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-30.516666" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 151.66667/lat -30.516666)">Armidale</a>; 30°31′ S, 151°40′ E; 25 Oct. 1979; QMB S1276.</p><p>Paratypes</p><p>AUSTRALIA – New South Wales • 1 ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=151.71666&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-30.483334" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 151.71666/lat -30.483334)">Rockvale Road</a>, 10 km N of Armidale; 30°29′ S, 151°43′ E; 21 Oct. 1979; per.

Males of A. magnifica can be distinguished from those of A. inimica by the presence of a longer embolus (embolus length / bulb length&gt;1.5; cf. ~ 1.2) (Fig. 69L– 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. 69K, Q; cf. Fig. 64).</p><p>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&gt;0.25) that don’t curve medially at their ends, and very short, straight medial vesicles (medial vesicle length / lateral vesicle length &lt;0.5) (Fig. 70D, 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. 70G–H, L; cf. Figs 65–66).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The specific epithet ‘ magnifica ’ is an adjective derived from the Latin ‘ magnificus ’, meaning ‘great, grand’, or ‘magnificent’, in reference to the large and relatively robust nature of this species.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – New South Wales • ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=151.11667&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-29.766666" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 151.11667/lat -29.766666)">Inverell</a>; 29°46′ S, 151°07′ E; 10 Oct. 1996; L.

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).</p><p>Distribution</p><p>The warialda -complex occurs from the New South Wales north coast, in the New England Tablelands, Nandewar, and Brigalow Belt South bioregions, to as far north as the Einasleigh Uplands and Wet Tropics bioregions of northern Queensland. They are typically found inland of the Great Dividing Range (Fig. 11).</p><p>Composition</p><p>The warialda -complex includes six described species: Aname bifaceta sp. nov., A. boreovillosa sp. nov., A. occivillosa sp. nov., A. scutitheca sp. nov., A. villosa (Rainbow &amp; Pulleine, 1918), and A. warialda Raven, 1985 . Another potentially distinct species, A. sp. “maraboon”, is shown in the phylogeny (Fig. 1) and on the map for this complex (Fig. 11); however, because only a single specimen of this species is known, and it is morphologically so similar to A. bifaceta, further evidence is required to confirm that these species are distinct.</p><p>Key to species in the Aname warialda -complex</p><p>Note: males are unknown for A. boreovillosa sp. nov.</p><p>1.

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&gt;2.5) and a longer asetose depression on the palp tibia (depression length / palp tibia length&gt;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. 71J–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. 71J–K, N–P; cf. Fig. 81).</p><p>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&gt; 0.5) (Fig. 72L). 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. 72D, 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. 72L; cf. Fig. 82).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>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.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=148.05&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-23.583334" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 148.05/lat -23.583334)">Emerald</a>; 23°35′ S, 148°03′ E; 14 May 1999; E.P.A.

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).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B878BFFEE2131FD17F980CF3F6244	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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 &lt;2) and a shorter asetose depression on the pedipalp tibia (depression length / pedipalp tibia length &lt;0.6) (Fig. 74J–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. 74L, Q; cf. Fig. 78).</p><p>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&gt;0.25) and tightly undulating medial vesicles (Fig. 75L). 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&gt;2.9) (Fig. 75L; 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. 75L; cf. Fig. 79–80).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The specific epithet ‘ occivillosa ’ combines the Latin adjective ‘ villosa ’, meaning ‘hairy’ or ‘shaggy’ (the species epithet of a closely related and previously described species), with the prefix ‘ occi -’, meaning ‘western’, in reference to this species’ close relatedness to Aname villosa, and its western distribution relative to that species.</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=148.81667&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-25.5" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 148.81667/lat -25.5)">Lonesome National Park</a>, near lookout; 25°30′ S, 148°49′ E; 26 Nov.–11 Jan. 2011; D.

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&gt;0.6) (Fig. 76J–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. 76N, P; cf. Figs 71, 81).</p><p>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. 77D, L).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>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.

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 &lt;2) and a shorter asetose depression on the pedipalp tibia (depression length / pedipalp tibia length &lt;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. 78L, Q; cf. Fig. 74).</p><p>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&gt;0.25) and tightly undulating medial vesicles (Fig. 79L, 80L). 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&gt;2.9) (Figs 79L, 80L; 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 79L, 80L; cf. Fig. 75).</p><p>Type material</p><p>Syntypes</p><p>AUSTRALIA – Queensland • 1 ♀; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=151.11667&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-25.366667" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 151.11667/lat -25.366667)">Eidsvold</a>; 25°22′ S, 151°07′ E; AMS KS131260 (ex.AMS K40935) • 1 ♀; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=151.11667&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-25.366667" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 151.11667/lat -25.366667)">Eidsvold</a>; 25°22′ S, 151°07′ E; AMS KS1395 (ex.

Leg I orange-brown, darker on patella and tibia, femur length 7.33, patella length 4.87, tibia length 5.11, metatarsus length 4.64, tarsus length 2.94, total length 24.89, leg I length/carapace length 2.92; scopulae on distal metatarsus and tarsus; spine count Fe D 0, Fe PL 1, Pa PL 3, Ti PL 2, Ti RL 4, Me PL 0, Me RL 2, Ta 0; tibia length/width [TIL/TID] 3.30.</p><p>GENITALIA (Fig. 80D, L). Epigastric furrow extending slightly, posterior edge with rounded shape (Fig. 80D); spermathecae with two vesicles each (Fig. 80L); lateral vesicle undulating, with several distinct bends, length 1.00, lateral vesicle length/genitalia width 0.51, length/width at base 2.93, crown slightly wider than stem (Fig. 80L); medial vesicle short, undulating, and projecting postero-ventrally, medial vesicle length/genitalia width 0.52, length/width 1.58, medial vesicle length/lateral vesicle length 1.02 (Fig. 80L).</p><p>Distribution and natural history</p><p>Aname villosa occurs in central Queensland, in the north-eastern part of the Brigalow Belt South bioregion. It extends from near Wondai, north to near Biloela (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).</p><p>Remarks</p><p>This species was previously synonymised with A. distincta by Raven (1985); however, morphological examination of the syntypes and newly collected material has confirmed that it is a distinct species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B878BFFF8213FFE72FA9ACE5461AA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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&gt;2.5) and a longer asetose depression on the palp tibia (depression length / palp tibia length&gt; 0.6) (Fig. 81J–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. 81J–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. 81J–K, N–P; cf. Fig. 71).</p><p>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&gt;0.5) (Fig. 82L). 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. 82D, 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. 82L; cf. Fig. 72).</p><p>Type material</p><p>Holotype</p><p>AUSTRALIA – New South Wales • ♂; <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=150.58333&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-29.533333" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 150.58333/lat -29.533333)">Warialda</a>; 29°32′ S, 150°35′ E; 7 Jan. 1980; R.

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.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>The rubrochelicera -complex occurs from northern New South Wales, in the Darling Riverine Plains and Brigalow Belt South Bioregions, as far north as the Cape York Peninsula in far north Queensland.
