Austrammo is a genus of Australian ground spiders first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2002. [1] [2]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains four species: [1]
Cithaeronidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders first described by Simon in 1893 Female Cithaeron are about 5 to 7 millimetres long, males about 4 millimetres (0.16 in).
Gallieniellidae is a family of spiders first described by J. Millot in 1947. It was originally thought to be endemic to Madagascar until species were also found in southern Kenya, northeastern Argentina, and Australia. Drassodella was transferred from the family Gnaphosidae in 1990. They are suspected to be specialized in ant-preying.
Trochanteriidae is a family of spiders first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1879 containing about 52 species in 6 genera. Most are endemic to Australia though Doliomalus and Trochanteria are from South America and Plator is from Asia. Platyoides species exist in southern and eastern Africa, Madagascar, and the Canary Islands with one species, P. walteri, introduced to Australia.
Barrowammo is a genus of North and West Australian termite hunters containing the single species, Barrowammo waldockae. It was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2002, and has only been found in Australia. The name is a portmanteau of Barrow Island and Ammoxenidae.
Boolathana is a genus of spiders in the family Trachycosmidae found in western Australia. There are two species in the genus, Boolathana mainae and Boolathana spiralis. It is named after Boolathana Station, a pastoral lease near where the first specimen was found.
Boolathana spiralis is one of two species of western Australian spiders in the family Trochanteriidae. The name refers to the coiled tip of the middle apophysis, one of the defining characteristics of the species. It is mostly red to brown, the colour fading from dark on the top front to gray in the sides and bottom.
Peeto is a monotypic genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Trachycosmidae containing the single species, Peeto rodmani. It was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2002, and has only been found in Australia.
Questo is a monotypic genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Trachycosmidae containing the single species, Questo annuello, named after where it was found, Annuello, Victoria. It was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2002, and has only been found in Australia.
Centroina is a genus of Australian white tailed spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2000.
Lamponella is a genus of Australian white tailed spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2000.
Longepi is a genus of Australian white tailed spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2000.
Notsodipus is a genus of Australian white tailed spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2000.
Paralampona is a genus of Australian white tailed spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2000.
Pseudolampona is a genus of Australian white tailed spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2000.
Eilica is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1891.
Nomindra is a genus of Australian ground spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick & Barbara Baehr in 2006. Originally placed with the long-spinneret ground spiders, it was transferred to the ground spiders in 2018.
Wydundra is a genus of ground spiders that was first described by Norman I. Platnick & Barbara Baehr in 2006. Originally placed with the long-spinneret ground spiders, it was transferred to the ground spiders in 2018.
Morebilus is a genus of spiders in the family Trachycosmidae found in southern and western Australia, first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2002. These are large spiders, with the carapace of males ranging from 10 to 16 millimeters and those of females ranging from 10 to 24 millimeters. They look similar to members of Rebilus, especially the spinneret and tarsal claw, but members of this genus have an inclined lip at the anterior edge of the sternum as well as a pair of enlarged sclerites on the coxal glands.
Oreo is a genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Trachycosmidae, and was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2002. The name derives from the Oreo cookie. The type species has a black and white abdomen, although such coloration is common among gallieniellids.
Neato is a genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Trachycosmidae, and was first described by Norman I. Platnick in 2002.
