| Species: | Flat-headed Two-tailed Spider (Tamopsis cf platycephala)| This Photo: | Male, Eye Arrangement | General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere This species is a northern species only known from NT, Qld & NSW, so suspect it's not the same species, but certainly looks it and is the right size, so probably closely related. ~6mm long excluding appendages (ie legs, spinerets & palps). As can be seen, a very different abdomen shape to our other Two-tailed Spiders. Also quite large, with the male spiders usually considerably smaller than females. Females are reported to be ~10mm
