A revision of the Australian spider genus Trittame Koch (Mygalomorphae : Barychelidae) and a new related genus

摘要

The genus Trittame is revised and six new species are described: T. loki, T. kochi, from northern Queensland, T. thorelli, T. forsten, and T. xerophila, from mid-eastern Queensland, and T. ingrami from south-eastern Queensland. New material to the type species, T. gracilis Koch is described. The genus is endemic to Queensland and most common in rainforests. A second and new closely related genus, Zophorame and two new species, Z. simoni and Z. gallonae, both from north Queensland are described. A cladogram of Trittame and Zophorame species is presented with a brief discussion of relationships and biogeography.
