TYPE: Female holotype taken under a long in Kirrama Forest, 188099S, 1458379E, Queensland (1981), deposited in QMB ( S34407 View Materials ).
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
DIAGNOSIS: Males have a basally expanded palpal femur and a sinuous retrolateral tibial apophysis with a tip directed at about a 308 angle (fig. 239); females have a tongueshaped epigynal midpiece with laterally directed openings situated at about onethird the length of the spermathecae (fig. 240).
MALE: Total length 5.2. Abdominal dorsum with anterior pair of longitudinal white stripes connected to median transverse white band, band with posterolateral white extensions almost reaching transverse posterior white band; femora with distal, tibiae with proximal and distal dark rings. Palpal femur basally expanded, especially along dorsal edge; retrolateral tibial apophysis sinuous, with tip directly distodorsally (fig. 239); tegulum enlarged, extending to about onethird length of palpal tibia; embolar base truncat ed, tip directed retrolaterally (fig. 238).
FEMALE: Total length 6.0. Coloration as in male. Epigynum with tongueshaped midpiece, openings directed laterally, situated near anterior edge of median portion of spermathecae (fig. 240); spermathecae tripartite, posterior portion longest, median portion widest, anterior portion rounded (fig. 241).
