TYPES: Female holotype and male allotype taken in pitfall traps in dry woodland near Running Creek, Innot Springs , Queensland, 178199S, 1458189E (Nov. 5, 1991 – July 25, 1992; P. Lawless, R. Raven, M. Shaw), deposited in QMB ( S24113 View Materials ) .

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

DIAGNOSIS: This species closely resembles N. dalby but can be distinguished by the longer embolus and larger terminal apophysis (fig. 654) of males and by having the posteromedian epigynal ducts only slightly over­ lain by the posterolateral ducts (fig. 657) in females.

MALE: Total length 3.7. Abdominal dorsum with posterior chevrons visible under scutum; venter gray, with four longitudinal rows of small, circular, orange sclerites. Leg spination typical for genus. Retrolateral tibial apophysis long, subdistally widened, distally sinuous (fig. 655); terminal apophysis with distally narrow median prong, distal elements relatively long, wide, heavily sclerotized retrolaterally, embolus relatively long, extending past ventral edge of bulb (fig. 654).

FEMALE: Total length 3.5. Abdominal dorsum gray, with posterior chevrons; venter without sclerites or pale spots. Leg spination typical for genus. Epigynal atrium relatively large, almost circular (fig. 656); spermathecae ductlike, not widely separated anteriorly, with lateral ducts overlying only the tips of their lateral ends (fig. 657).
