Namirea is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the family Euagridae. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described by Robert Raven in 1984. [2]
As of July 2020 [update] the genus contained the following species from New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland (QLD): [1]
The family Dipluridae, known as curtain-web spiders are a group of spiders in the infraorder Mygalomorphae, that have two pairs of booklungs, and chelicerae (fangs) that move up and down in a stabbing motion. A number of genera, including that of the Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax), used to be classified in this family but have now been moved to Atracidae.
Leptospermum is a genus of shrubs and small trees in the myrtle family Myrtaceae commonly known as tea trees, although this name is sometimes also used for some species of Melaleuca. Most species are endemic to Australia, with the greatest diversity in the south of the continent, but some are native to other parts of the world, including New Zealand and Southeast Asia. Leptospermums all have five conspicuous petals and five groups of stamens which alternate with the petals. There is a single style in the centre of the flower and the fruit is a woody capsule.
Hadronyche is a genus of venomous Australian funnel-web spiders that was first described by L. Koch in 1873. Originally placed with the curtain web spiders, it was moved to the Hexathelidae in 1980, then to the Atracidae in 2018.
Aname is a genus of mygalomorph spiders. It is endemic to Australia. The spiders, as well as some in closely related genera, are also known as wishbone spiders.
Corybas, commonly known as helmet orchids, is a genus of about 120 species of plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Helmet orchids are small, perennial, deciduous herbs and are nearly always terrestrial. They have a single leaf at their base and a single flower on a short stalk, the flower dominated by its large dorsal sepal and labellum. Species of Corybas are found in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, southern China, many Pacific islands and a few sub-Antarctic islands.
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.
Robert John Raven is an Australian arachnologist, being the Head of Terrestrial Biodiversity and the Senior Curator (Arachnida) at the Queensland Museum. Dr Raven has described many species of spider in Australia and elsewhere, and is spider bite consultant to the Royal Brisbane Hospital, leading to much work on spider toxins.
Cethegus is a genus of mygalomorph spiders in the curtain-web family Euagridae. It s endemic to Australia and 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.
Blakistonia is a genus of Australian armoured trapdoor spiders that was first described by Henry Roughton Hogg in 1902.
Cataxia is a genus of Australian armoured trapdoor spiders that was first described by William Joseph Rainbow in 1914.
Euoplos is a genus of armoured trapdoor spiders that is endemic to Australia. It was first described by William Joseph Rainbow in 1914.
Mandjelia is a genus of South Pacific brushed trapdoor spiders first described by Robert Raven in 1994.
Ozicrypta is a genus of Australian brushed trapdoor spiders first described by Robert Raven in 1994.
Seqocrypta is a genus of Australian brushed trapdoor spiders first described by Robert Raven in 1994.
Australothele is a genus of Australian spiders in the family Euagridae. It was first described by Robert Raven in 1984.
Carrai is a monotypic genus of spiders in the family Euagridae. It contains the single species, Carrai afoveolata. It was first described by Robert Raven in 1984, and is endemic to Australia.
Namea is a genus of spiders in the family Anamidae. It is endemic to Australia. It was first described in 1984 by Australian arachnologist Robert Raven. As of 2017, it contains 19 species, all from the states of Queensland (QLD) or New South Wales (NSW).
Euagridae is a family of mygalomorph spiders. The group was first described as a tribe in 1979 by Robert Raven, who in 1985 elevated it to a subfamily. In 2020, Opatova et al. elevated it further to a family.
Cryptoforis is a genus of armoured trapdoor spiders. It is endemic to Australia. It was first described by Jeremy Wilson, Michael Rix and Robert Raven in 2020.
