New Species of Toxopsoides (Cycloctenidae: Araneae) from Tasmanian and Queensland Surveys

 


New Species of Toxopsoides (Cycloctenidae: Araneae) from Tasmanian and Queensland Surveys

Five new species of the spider genus Toxopsoides Forster & Wilton, 1973 are described from Tasmanian surveys by DPIPWE and Bush Blitz (T. driesseni, sp. nov, T. tarkayna, sp. nov., T. wybalena, sp. nov., T. deux, sp. nov.) and one from an intensive IBISCA survey (T. ibisca, sp. nov.) in southern Queensland. It is suggested that Toxopsoides is transferred to Cycloctenidae with which it shares most characters.
