TYPE: Female holotype from Terrors Creek , 278139S, 1528509E, Queensland (Nov. 1908; J. Lamb), deposited in QMB ( S28118 View Materials ) .
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of L. russell and L. airlie but have the retrolateral tibial apophysis more abruptly narrowed posterior to the tip (fig. 147); females have larg er anterior portions of the spermathecae that are displaced laterally, to the side of the epigynal midpiece (figs. 148, 149).
MALE: Total length 5.3. Abdominal dorsum apparently with median white spots fused to each other and to anterior pair; anterior femora darkened, posterior femora with subdistal, posterior tibiae with proximal and distal dark rings. Palpal femur darkened throughout most of its length but otherwise unmodified; retrolateral tibial apophysis distinctly expanded posterior of tip (fig. 147); tegulum expanded, reaching to half of tibial length; embolar base rounded prolaterally (fig. 146).
FEMALE: Total length 7.9. Coloration as in male except abdominal dorsum with only vague indications of anterior and median white spots. Epigynal midpiece long, narrow (fig. 148); anterior portions of spermathecae displaced to sides of epigynum (fig. 149).
