Chenistonia comprises 8 species: [1]
Hexathelidae is a family of mygalomorph spiders. It is one of a number of families and genera of spiders known as funnel-web spiders. In 2018, the family was substantially reduced in size by genera being moved to three separate families: Atracidae, Macrothelidae and Porrhothelidae. Atracidae includes the most venomous species formerly placed in Hexathelidae.
The spider genus Aname is endemic to Australia, with one species found only on Tasmania. It contains the black wishbone spider, A. atra.
Habronestes is an ant-eating spider genus that occurs only in Australia.
Stanwellia is a genus of South Pacific mygalomorph spiders in the family Pycnothelidae. It was first described by W. J. Rainbow & R. H. Pulleine in 1918. Originally placed with the curtain-web spiders, it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985, then to the Pycnothelidae in 2020. It is a senior synonym of Aparua.
Cethegus is a genus of Australian spiders in the family Euagridae. It was first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1881.
Arbanitis is a genus of Australian armoured trapdoor spiders that was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1874.
Chenistonia caeruleomontana is a ground spider, found in New South Wales, Australia. Spiders in this group are called "wishbone spiders", for the shape of their open silk-lined burrow, which has the shape of the letter "Y", with one arm shorter than the other. Only the longer arm reaches the surface. The shorter arm is believed to allow the spider to survive flooding by trapping an air bubble.
Nyssus is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1805.
Australothele is a genus of Australian spiders in the family Euagridae. It was first described by Robert Raven in 1984.
