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.
Barychelidae, also known as brushed trapdoor spiders, is a spider family with about 300 species in 42 genera.
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.
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.
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.
Fijocrypta is a monotypic genus of South Pacific brushed trapdoor spiders containing the single species, Fijocrypta vitilevu. Both genus and species were first described by Robert Raven in 1994, and they have only been found in Fiji. It was first found in rainforests in the eastern highlands of Viti Levu, the largest island in Fiji, from which the species name is derived. The genus name is derived from "Fiji" and the Latin word cryptus, meaning "hidden".
Abracadabrella elegans is a species of jumping spider in the genus Abracadabrella. Its common name is Elegant Fly Mimic. It is common in coastal Eastern Australia, mostly Queensland. It appears to mimic a large fly with two black raised, rounded mounds on the rear of the abdomen, which look like eyes, and its spinnerets which resemble a fly's mouthparts. It walks backwards apparently to enhance the mimicry. Abracadabrella spp. are found on or under bark or on foliage from coastal north Queensland south to at least the central coast NSW.
Aurecocrypta is a genus of Australian brushed trapdoor spiders first described by Robert Raven in 1994. As of April 2019 it contained two species from Western Australia.

Ozicrypta is a genus of Australian brushed trapdoor spiders first described by Robert Raven in 1994.
Questocrypta is a monotypic genus of South Pacific brushed trapdoor spiders containing the single species, Questocrypta goloboffi. It was first described by Robert Raven in 1994, and has only been found on New Caledonia.
Tungari is a genus of brushed trapdoor spiders first described by Robert Raven in 1994. It is endemic to Australia. The name comes from an Aboriginal term meaning "song".
