TYPES: Female holotype from pitfall trap at Emmett Creek , S of Townsville, 198279S, 1478039E, Queensland (Oct. 26, 1991 – July 27, 1992; P. Lawless, M. Shaw, R. Raven), deposited in QMB ( S21954 View Materials ), and male allotype (same data except pitfall set Dec. 2, 1992 – Apr. 12, 1993), deposited in QMB ( S34331 View Materials ) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

MALE: Total length 1.9. Coloration as in P. warrandyte except abdominal dorsum with only four dark chevrons (posterior stripe interrupted medially), venter with only a pair of small, posterior, dark spots. Retrolateral tibial apophysis small, triangular (fig. 751); median apophysis distally bifid (fig. 750).

FEMALE: Total length 3.3. Coloration as in male. Lateral epigynal margins relatively long, reaching full length of spermathecae (fig. 752); spermathecae widely separated anteriorly (fig. 753).
