Pseudolampona taroom View in CoL , new species Figures 766–769 View Figs ; Map 87 View Map 87

TYPE: Male holotype taken in a pitfall trap at Boggomoss, Taroom District , 258259S, 1508019E, Queensland (Sept. 9–Nov. 11, 1996; P. Lawless), deposited in QMB ( S34317 View Materials ) .

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

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the distally folded embolus (fig. 766), females by the absence of lateral epigynal margins and the enlarged lobes that separate the spermathecae (fig. 768).

MALE: Total length 2.5. Coloration as in P. warrandyte . Retrolateral tibial apophysis relatively long, slightly expanded at about half its length (fig. 767); embolus narrow, folded at about half its length (fig. 766).

FEMALE: Total length 3.1. Coloration as in P. warrandyte . Lateral epigynal margins absent, lateral pockets small, often difficult to see (fig. 768); spermathecae separated by enlarged, medially directed lobes (fig. 769).

VARIATION: The two females from New South Wales have relatively short spermathecae, and it is possible that they could prove to represent a different species.
