TYPE: Female holotype taken under bark of Eucalyptus camaldulensis 5 km W Mildura, Victoria, 348109S, 1428069E (Sept. 21, 1985; M. Harvey, B. Scott, L. Hoare), deposited in AMS ( KS31888 ) .
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
DIAGNOSIS: Females resemble those of L. yanchep and L. garnet but can be distin
guished by the almost pentagonal epigynal midpiece (fig. 180). The male tentatively matched with the holotype resembles that specimen in coloration, sternal sculpturing, and femoral shape, and can easily be recognized by the odd shape of the retrolateral tibial apophysis (fig. 179).
MALE: Total length 5.2. Abdominal dorsum light anteriorly, with dark chevrons posteriorly; anterior femora slightly darkened, posterior femora with subdistal, tibiae with proximal and distal dark rings. Palpal femur darkened throughout its length but otherwise unmodified; retrolateral tibial apophysis lobeshaped, with narrow tip (fig. 179); tegulum short; embolus short, narrow, almost obscured by conductor in ventral view (fig. 178).
FEMALE: Total length 4.6. Coloration as in male, except posterior leg markings not evident (specimen probably collected soon after molt, before fully sclerotized). Epigynum with vshaped lateral margins (fig. 180); spermathecae with anterior portion rotund (fig. 181).
