Description
editThis spider was identified thanks largely to the work of D. B. Hirst.[4] It closely resembles Beregama aurea. It also resembles several other Australian huntsman spiders, especially species from the genus Neosparassus, although it lacks the black patch on the underpart of the abdomen which is found on Neosparassus members.[2]
