Diagnosis. Males of A. cingulipes differ from all other species of Artoria in Western Australia by their large, spoon-shaped tegular apophysis, with its retrolateral margin projected ventrally tapering into an acute tip (seen retrolaterally, Fig. 7C, D ). Females of A. cingulipes are distinguishable among the Artoria of Western Australia by their epigyne that has a very large central atrium, and lateral lobes parallel to the epigastric furrow, almost touching mesally ( Fig. 8C ).

Description. see Framenau (2002, 2005) (see also Figs 7A–E , 8A–D ).

Life history and habitat preference. Artoria cingulipes appears to prefer forests and woodlands (e.g. Karri— Eucalyptus diversicolor, Jarrah — E. marginata , and Marri— Corymbia calophylla ), where it inhabits the ground litter layer. Adult spiders were mainly found in summer, with highest numbers reported between October and December. Occasionally, adults have also been found in June and August.

Distribution. Artoria cingulipes is one of the most collected species of the genus in the State. It can be found in south-western Western Australia as far north as approximately Kalbarri and into southern South Australia almost to the Victorian border ( Fig. 4 ).
