TYPE: Female holotype taken in Ficus log on Mount Glorious , 27 ° 20 ̍ S, 152 ° 46 ̍ E, Queensland (Sept. 26, 1988; F. Wylie, M. DeBear), deposited in QMB ( S28495 ) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of R. binnaburra but have a shorter, recurved proximal prong, and an additional ventral protuberance, on the retrolateral tibial apophysis (figs. 600, 644) and a longer tip on the palpal conductor (fig. 599); females can easily be recognized by the v­shaped posterior epigynal margin (fig. 601).

MALE: Total length 13. Coloration as in R. lugubris . Leg spination: femora: I–IV p1­1­ 0; tibiae: II v1p­1p­2; III v1p­2­2; IV v1p­2­ 2, r0­1­1; metatarsi: III p0­0­1, v2­0­2; IV p0­0­1, v0­0­1p, r1­0­0. Retrolateral tibial apophysis greatly expanded distally into distally and recurved, proximally directed prongs, with additional, ventrally situated protuberance (figs. 600, 644); cymbium without prolateral thickened setae, with only slight projection on retrolateral edge at about one­third its length, median apophysis with three distal points, conductor tip long (fig. 599).

FEMALE: Total length 13. Coloration as in male. Leg spination: femora: I p1­0­0; II–IV p1­1­0; tibiae: III v1p­2­2; IV v1p­2­2, r0­1­ 1; metatarsi: III p0­0­1, v2­0­2; IV v0­0­1p, r1­0­0. Epigynum with v­shaped posterior margin, atrium deep, with narrow posteromedian septum (fig. 601); secondary spermathecal bulbs directed laterally (fig. 602).
