TYPES: Female holotype and male allotype taken in pitfall traps at Woodman Point , 328089S, 1158459E, Western Australia (June 28–Sept. 1, 1994; J. Waldock, A. Longbottom), deposited in WAM (96/265, 266) .

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

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be recognized by the widely separated arms of the bifid retrolateral tibial apophysis (fig. 735) and the relatively small terminal apophysis (fig. 734), females by the rounded epigynal hood (fig. 736) and small anterior epigynal ducts (fig. 737).

MALE: Total length 2.8. Dorsal abdominal scutum darker than carapace, coloration otherwise as in L. boyd . Leg spination: femur IV d1­0­0; tibiae: III v1p­0­2; IV r1­0­1; metatarsus IV v1p­0­0. Retrolateral tibial apophysis bifid, arms widely separated (fig. 735); terminal apophysis relatively small (fig. 734).

FEMALE: Total length 3.3. Coloration as in L. boyd . Leg spination: femur IV d1­0­0; tibiae: III v1p­0­2; IV r1­0­1; metatarsus IV v1p­0­0. Epigynal hood relatively large, rounded (fig. 736); anterior epigynal ducts relatively small (fig. 737).
