Median propeltidial area denticulate, with pair of large denticles at apex of lateral mounds and further denticles anterior and lateral to mounds. Posterior propeltidial area mostly unarmed except for few small denticles lateral to lateral humps. Ocularium with row of few large denticles on each side. Lateral shelves mottled purple-brown, ozopore lobes white. Metapeltidium sclerotised medially to form distinctly round sclerotised area with dorsal prosomal plate.

from many localities in north-eastern Queensland are held in the collection at QM. However, a wide range of variation can be seen within and between localities in size, development of the bristle groups on the penis and extent of the proventral spine row on leg I, and it seems likely that a complex of closely related species is involved rather than a single taxon. Unfortunately, establishing species boundaries within the group has proven difficult, and will require no small amount of study. Matters are complicated further by the uncertain nature of
