TYPE: Female holotype taken in pitfall trap in Nothofagus cunninghamii forest 0.2 km W Tarra Valley Picnic Area, TarraBulga National Park , Strzlecki Ranges , 388279S, 1468329E, Victoria (Nov. 14, 1995 – Jan. 10, 1996; G. Milledge), deposited in NMV ( K4658 View Materials ) .

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

DIAGNOSIS: Males and females have not been collected together, but are matched here on the basis of their respective similarities to those of L. boyd ; males have a shorter retrolateral tibial apophysis (fig. 719) and a longer narrowed portion of the terminal apophysis (fig. 718); females have a wider, heartshaped epigynal atrium (fig. 720).

MALE: Total length 3.7. Abdominal scutum dark reddish brown; coloration otherwise as in L. boyd . Leg spination: tibia IV v002. Retrolateral tibial apophysis with basal hook, extending only about half of cymbial length, sharply bent at about onethird its length (fig. 719); terminal apophysis wide but narrowed apical portion relatively long (fig. 718).

FEMALE: Total length 4.5. Abdominal dorsum mottled gray, coloration otherwise as in male. Leg spination typical for genus. Epigynal atrium wide, heartshaped, with anterolateral openings (fig. 720); median ducts long, longitudinal (fig. 721).
