Most are endemic to Australia though Doliomalus and Trochanteria are from South America and Olin and Plator are 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 Trochanteriidae 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 color fading from dark on the top front to gray in the sides and bottom.
