Diagnosis. Eyes in 2 rows, both rows procurved, AME smallest, other eyes subequal.Abdomen with 2 pairs of large white patches and 3 patches in front of spinnerets. Palpal cymbium large and extremely bent, RCF reaches over tip; similar to H. giganteus but differs by shape of LTA and extremely long DTA. Epigyne with small, paired, half moon shaped openings and a medial lanceolate hook.
Description. Male (holotype). Total length 5.16; carapace 2.80 long, 2.16 wide; 1.16 high; cl/cw 1.30; sternum 1.36 long, 1.16 wide; sl/sw 1.17. Abdomen 2.36 long, 1.72 wide. Colour. Carapace sepia brown, iridescent; sternum yellow brown; chelicerae medium brown; maxillae and labium pale brown, distally white. Abdomen sepia brown with 2 large pairs of white patches and 3 patches in front of spinnerets; laterally with 2 long white patches equal in length; ventrally pink brown. Legs yellow brown; clearly annulated; legs I– IV with white coxa, prolateral suture sepia brown, sepia brown trochanter, proximal margin of femora sepia brown, proximal ½ white and distal ½ sepia brown, u-shaped pattern, sepia-brown lateral stripes on patella, tibiae and metatarsi. Eyes. In 2 rows each with 4 eyes, both rows procurved. AME smallest, other eyes equal. Eye group width 0.53 of headwidth; AME 0.12; ALE 0.14; PME 0.16; PLE 0.16; AME–AME 0.04; AME–ALE 0.04; ALE–PLE 0.04; PME–PME 0.06; PME–PLE 0.06. MOQ.AME–PME 0.38; AME–AME 0.28; PME–PME 0.38. Clypeus & chilum. Clypeus 0.6 high; chilum divided. Legs. Length formula 4123; femora I, II with 1 row, III, IV with 2 rows of long, thin setae ventrally. Male palp ( Figs. 94, 95 View Figs , 107 View Figs ). RCF deep, reaches over tip of cymbium; from lateral view cymbium extremely bent, with weak dorsal scopula and a few strong spines apically. LTA with a long vertical stalk and irregular horizontal plate; DTA a flattened stalk; VTA long, with sharp tip. Tibiae short with 2 long prolateral setae; DTiA as long as ventrolateral one, hooked; VTiA ( Fig. 95 View Figs ).
Female (paratype QM S51517 View Materials ). Total length 6.16; carapace 3 long, 2.04 wide; 1.12 high; cl/cw 1.47; sternum 1.48 long, 1.28 wide; sl/sw 1.16. Abdomen 3.16 long, 2.16 wide. Colour. Same as male. Eyes. Eye group width 0.5 of headwidth; AME 0.12; ALE 0.16; PME 0.16; PLE 0.16; AME–AME 0.06; AME–ALE 0.04; ALE–PLE 0.04; PME– PME 0.06; PME–PLE 0.06. MOQ: AME–PME 0.40; AME– AME 0.30; PME–PME 0.38. Clypeus 0.6 high. Legs. Same as male. Epigyne ( Figs. 139, 140 View Figs ). With small, paired, halfmoon-shaped openings and a medial, lanceolate hook. Vulva with long, spiralled copulatory ducts ending in small almost touching spermathecae.
Distribution. New South Wales ( Fig. 141 View Figs ).
Etymology. Species name is chosen because of the extremely long DTA which functions as a conductor.
