Description
The dahmsi -complex
The dahmsi -complex Rix et al., 2020: 703.
Remarks. The monophyletic dahmsi -complex of Namea (Fig. 13) currently includes one previously described species – N. dahmsi Raven, 1984 – plus a number of undescribed species from south-eastern and mid-eastern Queensland, where the spiders are sparsely distributed in dry rainforest scrubs and occasionally more open forest habitats (Rix et al. 2020). Burrows are of the ‘wishbone’ type with a branching second shaft and concealed second entrance, with the main burrow entrance usually in the form of an irregular open hole lined with flocculent white silk (Fig. 11). Only a single species has been recorded on the D’Aguilar Range.
