ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the
type
locality.
DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of
R. lugubris
in having an expanded tegulum, but can be recognized by the lobate tip of the palpal conductor (fig. 607) and the long expansion on the retrolateral margin of the cymbium (fig. 608); females can be recognized by the long, ushaped posterior epigynal margin, which occupies about half the epigynal length (fig. 609).
MALE: Total length 16. Coloration as in
R. lugubris
. Leg spination: femora I–IV p110; tibiae III, IV v222; metatarsi: III v202; IV v00
1p.
Retrolateral tibial apophysis small, triangular, sinuous (figs. 608, 646); cymbium without prolateral thickened setae, with retromarginal expansion, conductor with lobate tip (fig. 607).
FEMALE: Total length 21. Coloration as in male. Leg spination: femora I–IV p110; tibiae: I, II v1p32; III v222; IV v222, r0 01; metatarsi: III p002, v202; IV p001, v002. Epigynum with deeply depressed atrium outlined by long, ushaped posterior margin (fig. 609); secondary spermathecal bulbs directed anterolaterally (fig. 610).

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from southeastern
Queensland
and northern
New South Wales
(map 46); the Newcastle record from the last century probably refers only to the port from which the specimen was shipped, and that record is not mapped.
