Midgee is a genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Toxopidae, first described by V. T. Davies in 1995. [2]
As of April 2019 [update] it contains nine species: [1]
Amaurobiidae is a family of three-clawed cribellate or ecribellate spiders found in crevices and hollows or under stones where they build retreats, and are often collected in pitfall traps. Unlidded burrows are sometimes quite obvious in crusty, loamy soil. They are difficult to distinguish from related spiders in other families, especially Agelenidae, Desidae and Amphinectidae. Their intra- and interfamilial relationships are contentious. According to the World Spider Catalog, 2019, the family Amaurobiidae includes about 275 species in 49 genera.
Inola is a genus of Australian nursery web spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies in 1982.
Malkaridae is a small family of araneomorph spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 1980. In 2017, the family Pararchaeidae was brought into synonymy with Malkaridae.
Ordgarius is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1886.
Dardurus is a genus of Australian tangled nest spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 1976.
Jamara is a genus of Australian araneomorph spiders in the family Toxopidae, containing the single species, Jamara pisinna. It was first described by V. T. Davies in 1995, and has only been found in Australia.
Wabarra is a genus of Australian tangled nest spiders in Queensland first described by V. T. Davies in 1996. As of April 2019 it contains only two species.
Quemusia is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 1998.
Tanganoides is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 2005.
Teeatta is a genus of Australian tangled nest spiders first described by V. T. Davies in 2005. As of April 2019 it contains only three species.
Gippsicola is a genus of Australian tube dwelling spiders that was first described by Henry Roughton Hogg in 1900. It is no longer considered a junior synonym of Segestria due to anatomical differences in the pedipalps of males and the receptaculum in females.
Barahna is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies in 2003. The name is derived from baran-barahn, the Bundjalung word for "spider". Originally placed with the Stiphidiidae, it was moved to the intertidal spiders after the results of a 2017 genetic study.
Carbinea is a genus of Australian sheetweb spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies in 1999.
Kababina is a genus of Australian sheetweb spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies in 1995.
Malarina is a genus of Australian sheetweb spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies & C. L. Lambkin in 2000.
Wabua is a genus of Australian sheetweb spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies & C. L. Lambkin in 2000.
Yiinthi is a genus of South Pacific huntsman spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies in 1994. Y. lycodes was transferred from Heteropoda.
Pitonga is a monotypic genus of intertidal spiders containing the single species, Pitonga woolowa. It was first described by V. T. Davies in 1984, and has only been found in Northern Australia.
Toxopidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders, first described in 1940. For many years it was sunk into Desidae as a subfamily, although doubts were expressed as to whether this was correct. A large-scale molecular phylogenetic study in 2016 led to the family being revived.
