Type species. Frewena maculata Richardson 2013 .
Etymology. The name is derived from the name of the type locality and is to be treated as female in gender.
Diagnosis. This Australian genus of very small unidentate spiders can be distinguished from other euophryine genera by the shape of the spermatheca. This is subdivided into two compartments placed one on top of the other and with a well-formed long narrow diverticulum off the ventral compartment. The paired fossae are separated by a distinct septa and include two S-shaped guides. The male has a long embolus forming an anticlockwise spiral. From its morphology, the genus should be placed in the Euophryinae .
