In alcohol, well-coloured specimens under low magnification an almost uniform light red-brown in body colour (unusually, extending to legs and antennae) with small pale brown patches medially and anteriorly on metatergites, and laterally on paranota. Antenna fairly short, fairly slender ( Fig. 69mon). Paranotafairly wide, R= 1.5 ( Fig. 70mon), posterior corners not turned up. Legs robust, tarsus longer than femur ( Fig. 71mon). Telopodite ( Figs 54, 55) narrowing sharply at prefemoral process origin, reaching leg 5 when retracted. Solenomere arising at one-third to half the telopodite height, directed basally at c. 45° to telopodite axis, curving gradually distally, terminating with a toothed subapical collar at about one-third the prefemoral process height. Tibiotarsus as large as solenomere but diverging from it and curving laterally, greatly expanding apically and deeply and broadly notched, thus terminating in two large spine-like structures.Femoral process arising just distal to solenomere origin, blade-like with a slight posterior shoulder apically, pressed close to prefemoral process, terminating at about half the prefemoral process height (distal to solenomere tip). Prefemoral process at origin about half as wide as telopodite base, bending first mesally then distally, the tip curving posteriorly with a comb of c. 20 long, mainly posterobasally teeth on mesal edge, the comb continued proximally as a row of more irregular “sawteeth” to about the level of solenomere tip. Uncus small, arising centrally just proximal to solenomere tip.  Distribution and habitat.Known from four localities over a range of c. 500 km  2incentral western Tasmania( Fig. 73), from 650 to 1250 m. At Algonkian Mountain, Lake Lea and Squires Creek the habitat was cool temperate rainforest, while on Mt Murchison  L. montanuswas found walking by day among bare rocks (R. van Riet, pers. comm.).  Etymology. Latin  montanus(“of mountains”), adjective. 4134480463 1993-12-18 QVM Lake Lea, DP & R. Mesibov & T.
