Arbanitis melancholicus is a species of armoured trap-door spider in the family Idiopidae, [1] and is endemic to New South Wales. [2]

It was first described by William Joseph Rainbow and Robert Henry Pulleine in 1918 as Dyarcyops melancholicus. [1] [3] However, in 1985 Barbara Main placed it in synonymy with Misgolas rapax [1] [4] In 2006, Wishart recognised it once more as a separate species and it became Misgolas melancholicus. [1] [5] This was reconfirmed by Wishart in 2011. [1] [6] In 2017 Michael Rix and others returned it to the genus, Arbanitis . [1] [2] [7]
