A Relimitation And Revision Of The Australasian Ground Spider Family Lamponidae (Araneae: Gnaphosoidea) Author PLATNICK, NORMAN I. text Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 2000 2000-01-27 2000 245 1 328 http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.1206/0003-0090%282000%29245%3C0001%3AARAROT%3E2.0.CO%3B2 journal article 10.1206/0003-0090(2000)245<0001:ARAROT>2.0.CO;2 0003-0090 5348675 Queenvic piccadilly , new species Figures 522–525 ; Map 59 TYPE: Female holotype taken at an elevation of 800 m at Piccadilly Circus , 358199S, 1488519E, Australian Capital Territory ( Jan. 16, 1970 ; R. Taylor ), deposited in QMB . ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality. DIAGNOSIS: This seems to be the sister species of Q. goanna (see above); males can easily be distinguished by the flattened, distally angled retrolateral tibial apophysis (fig. 523), females by the more triangular epigynal hood and smaller epigynal pockets (fig. 524). MALE: Total length 2.7. Coloration as in Q. mackay except carapace with patches of white scales laterally on pars cephalica and on intercoxal areas of pars thoracica; abdominal dorsum with posterior stripes situated at about half of abdominal length; femora slightly darkened but legs otherwise unmarked. Leg spination typical for genus. Retrolateral tibial apophysis relatively long, uniformly wide, with distal portion flattened, angled (fig. 523); distal prong of conductor oriented transversely, close to relatively small subdistal prong (fig. 522).

Coloration as in male. Leg spination typical for genus. Epigynal hood triangular, lateral pockets relatively small (fig. 524); anterior ducts oriented longitudinally, expanded anteriorly (fig. 525).
