Figs 47–48 Diagnosis. Most closely resembles the geographically remote Tasmanian Miturgopelma paruwi sp. nov. but differs by lacking a keel on the ventral palpal tibia, the more dominant tegulum and the trianguloid median apophysis. Female unknown. FIGURE 47. Miturgopelma rangerstaceyae sp. nov. , male holotype, QM S109279: a , b , male palpal tibia, cymbium and bulb, ventral (a) and retrolateral (b) views; c , habitus, dorsal view. Etymology. The species epithet is in honour of television presenter, Ranger Stacey Thomson, whose endless enthusiasm no doubt infected many children to pay attention to nature and was much appreciated by parents and teachers.
