TYPE: Female holotype from Gosford , 338269S, 1518209E, New South Wales (Oct. 12, 1977; R. Mascord), deposited in AMS ( KS31932 ) .
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
DIAGNOSIS: The tentatively associated males resemble those of L. fife in having a long, sinuous palpal femur and a triangular, setose retrolateral tibial apophysis, but differ in having that apophysis and the embolar tip shorter (figs. 234, 235). Females can easily be recognized by the elongate epigynum with a distinct anterior margin and clubshaped spermathecae (figs. 236, 237).
MALE: Total length 7.6. Abdominal dorsum with median pair of white stripes fused medially into wshaped markings; basal portion of anterior femora greatly darkened. Palpal femur long, sinuous, darkened; retrolateral tibial apophysis triangular, setose, relatively small (fig. 235); tegulum globose, extending to half of tibial length; conductor not quite covering prolateral side of embolus (fig. 234).
FEMALE: Total length 11.5. Abdominal dorsum with median pair of white stripes not quite fused medially; anterior femora completely darkened. Epigynum long, with distinct anterior margin, openings at about onethird of length (fig. 236); spermathecae tripartite, clubshaped (fig. 237).
