Leichhardteus is a genus of Australian corinnid sac spiders first described by B. C. Baehr & Robert Raven in 2013. [2]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains eleven species: [1]
Jotus is a spider genus of the family Salticidae, native to Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia. There are thought to be many as yet undescribed species in southern Australia.
Maratus is a spider genus of the family Salticidae. These spiders are commonly referred to as peacock spiders due to the males' colorful and usually iridescent patterns on the upper surface of the abdomen often enhanced with lateral flaps or bristles, which they display during courtship. Females lack these bright colors, being cryptic in appearance. In at least one species, Maratus vespertilio, the expansion of the flaps also occurs during ritualised contests between males. The male display and courtship dance are complex, involving visual and vibratory signals.
Habronestes is an ant-eating spider genus that occurs only in Australia.
Battalus is a genus of Australian corinnid sac spiders first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1878. Originally placed with the ground spiders, it was moved to the Corinnidae in 2015.
Euoplos is a genus of armoured trapdoor spiders that is endemic to Australia. It was first described by William Joseph Rainbow in 1914.
Opopaea is a genus of goblin spiders of the family Oonopidae. The genus is one of the largest within the family, with 180 accepted species.
Tamopsis is a genus of tree trunk spiders that was first described by B. Baehr & M. Baehr in 1987. Like other members of the family, they may be called two-tailed spiders, referring to two elongated spinnerets. The name is derived from the genus Tama and the Ancient Greek ὄψις, meaning "resembling".
Seqocrypta is a genus of Australian brushed trapdoor spiders first described by Robert Raven in 1994.
Poecilipta is a genus of South Pacific corinnid sac spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1897.

Hickmanolobus is a genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Orsolobidae, and was first described by Raymond Robert Forster & Norman I. Platnick in 1985.
