Diagnosis. Females of Oxyopes rubicundus can be separated from females of all other described Australian Oxyopes species by the translucent quadrangular scapus, the thin copulatory ducts, convoluted with four thin coils, ending in globular lateral spermathecae (Figs 17 C-E , 21E).

Figure 17. Oxyopes rubicundus L. Koch, 1878, female lectotype (ZMH- A0000019): A, habitus, dorsal view; B, habitus, ventral view; C, epigyne, ventral view; D, epigyne, ventral view, cleared; E, epigyne, dorsal view, cleared. Scale bars: habitus 1.0 mm, epigyne 0.1 mm. Distribution. Original records from Sydney in New South Wales. The ALA lists additional records from Sydney, South Australia and southwestern Australia that need to be checked in a revisionary framework. Remarks. Koch cites Daemel that live specimens are greyish-brown and 'like coated with powder' . Carapace and abdomen with a broad coffee-brown line which is framed light brown. Specimens from Sydney were found on leaves, but the species was also netted from low plants in swampy areas.
