General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere Their size varies from ~5.5mm up to 9mm. Most likely we have found a number of different species but it's difficult to separate them out. Only the 1st we've photographed is shown here. These are similar to Trachycosmidae (were in Trochanteriidae), except these can't walk up glass. We find they also have much larger spinnerets. Unfortunately Atlas hasn't caught up yet, so we have to wait for them to move it as well. Similar Species: Flat Spider (Morebilus cf sp) : Red Flat Spider (Platorish gelorup) | |||||
