Troglodiplura harrisi is a species of troglomorphic spider in the family Anamidae, found in Western Australia, [1] [2] in caves on the Nullarbor Plain. [3]
It was first described in 2020 by Mark Harvey and Michael Rix. [2] [3] The species epithet honours Richard Harris, for his contributions to cave diving and his role in the Tham Luang cave rescue of 2018. [3]
The differences between this and other species in the genus has been demonstrated by close examination of fragments. [3] Like other species in the genus, it has no eyes. [3]
