Integument papillate; coxae with sexual dimorphism (in male coxal field merged to a unique ventral plate, including Vgl-1, -2, and -3, genital field and excretory pore; in female coxal plates, Vgl-1, -2, and -3, genital field and excretory pore separate); palpal segment comparatively long, P3 distinctly bulging in posterior half of the segment, ventral margin of P4 with two short, thin setae, placed relatively close to each other.</p><p>Description. Male (holotype). Idiosoma dorsally 778 and 669 wide, ventrally 831 long. Integument with papillae as presented in Figure 5A (inset). Ventral sclerites incorporated into secondary sclerotization to form a complete ventral shield (Figure 5B) and continues onto the periphery of the dorsum (Figure 5A). Cx-III width 488; posterior apodemes of Cx-IV short. Genital field 146 wide between outer edges of genital acetabula, three pairs of acetabula in a curved line (Figure 5B: inset), maximum diameter Ac 1–3: 43, 31, 38; gonopore 106 long. Ejaculatory complex 228 long.</p><p>Palp as illustrated in Figures 5C–D: dorsal length/height: P1, 34/33; P2, 92/57; P3, 123/55; P4, 155/28; P5, 47/16; palpal segment comparatively long, ventral margin of P2 nearly straight, P3 without setae, distinctly bulging in posterior half of the segment, ventral margin of P4 with two short, thin setae, placed relatively close to each other and extend distally at a sharp angle. Gnathosoma with its long posterior process 316 long. Chelicera 246 long.</p><p>Dorsal lengths of I-leg: 62, 103, 163, 197, 198, 218; terminal segments of I-leg comparatively long and slender (Figure 5E); these segment as in female (Figure 6B), except there are two longer setae on I-leg- 6 in the male; dorsal lengths of IV-leg: 109, 138, 203, 241, 269, 259; III-leg-5 with two swimming setae, IV-leg-5 with two long swimming setae.</p><p>Female (paratype). Idiosoma ventrally 1244 long and 1069 wide. Coxal plates separated but with an extended border of secondary sclerotization, coxal field 581 long, Cx-III width 638. Genital field 228 long and 269 wide; genital plates 134–147 long, pregenital sclerite 120 wide, maximum diameter Ac 1–3: 29–47, 38–46, 34; gonopore 188 long; eggs (n = 4) maximum diameter 142–147.</p><p>Palp: dorsal length/height: P1, 45/41; P2, 117/77; P3, 177/73; P4, 197/37; P5, 55/17. Gnathosoma with its long posterior process 369 long.</p><p>Dorsal lengths of I-leg: 75, 147, 209, 272, 272, 261; dorsal lengths of IV-leg: 153, 181, 259, 347, 369, 343; number of swimming setae on IV-leg as in male.</p><p>Etymology. Named for its papillate integument.</p><p>Remarks. Presence of a papillate integument and a characteristic shape of the palp (palpal segment comparatively long, especially P3, which bulging in its posterior half, and P-4 with two relatively short and thin setae, placed close to each other) separate the new species from all other members of the genus Australiobates .</p><p>The fusion of the ventral sclerites into a ventral sclerites in the males makes the new species similar to A. ventriscutatus Cook, 1986, a species which can be easily separated in the shape of the palp (palpal segment relatively stocky, ventral setae on P-4 relatively long, see figure 478 in Cook 1986) and the absence of a papillate integument. Note that the level of secondary sclerotization can vary and in juvenile specimens the ventral shield is not formed (see below under Variability).</p><p>Variability. The degree of secondary sclerotization is age dependant. For example in juvenile specimens from Mumbulla Creek the ventral shield is still not formed as illustrated in Figure 7B. However, the structure of the palp (Figure 7D) in combination with a papillate integument (Figure 7A) allows easy identification of the new species.</p><p>Distribution. New South Wales.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EC878BFFEDB93E80D4F8D83700FECF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Ventral shield 469 (464–480) long and 350 wide, genital field area fused with the ventral shield and with three pairs of acetabula, genital field 111 long and 92 wide between outer margins of acetabula, maximum diameter Ac 1–3: 28–31, 31–33, 30; gonopore 84 long and 23 wide. Ejaculatory complex 138 long.</p><p>Palp as illustrated in Figure 12D: dorsal length/height: P1, 23/28; P2, 75/53; P3, 39/37; P4, 63/25; P5, 31/16. Gnathosoma with included anchoral process 138 long; chelicera 156 long, basal segment 108 long, claw 51 long.</p><p>Dorsal lengths of I-leg: 36, 47, 52, 75, 78, 88; dorsal lengths of IV-leg-4–6: 111, 117, 103; IV-leg-5 with two very short swimming setae.</p><p>Etymology. Named after the type locality, the Snowy River ( ninguis = snow).</p><p>Remarks. With Cook (1986) the new species keys out as G. dalvotus Cook, 1986, a species known from Queensland and Victoria (Cook 1986) but differs in the configuration of the glandularia of the posterior dorsal plate (most posterior pair fused in new species but free in G. dalvotus, see Fig. 623 in Cook 1986). Moreover, in G. dalvotus the posterior suture line of Cx-IV extends almost to the pair of glandularia (Vgl-3) (see Figs. 618 and 620 in Cook 1986), while in the new species the latter pair of glandularia is shifted away from the posterior suture line of Cx-IV. Moreover Cx-IV of G. dalvotus are more elongated compared to the new species.</p><p>Distribution. New South Wales, known only from the type locality.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EC878BFFF0B92880D4FCCA369AFE23	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Dorsal and ventral shields present; dorsal shield 681 long and 644 wide, with three pairs of glandularia and the postocularia; a pair of glandularia lying in the dorsal furrow at the posterior end of the dorsal shield (Figure 13A). Ventral shield (Figure 13B) 769 long and 763 wide; gnathosomal bay moderately deep, 188 long. Genital field with three pairs of acetabula, fused with the ventral shield, 266 wide between outer margins of acetabula; gonopore 108 long and 118 wide.</p><p>Palp as illustrated in Figures 14A–B: dorsal length/height: P1, 27/44; P2, 93/57; P3, 140/52; P4, 108/26; P5, 44/14; ventral margin of P2 with a projection, denticles present on this projection and on the ventral side of P3, P-3 ventral margin without a projection, ventral margin P4 with well-developed tubercles in posterior part of the segment.

Named for its apparent rare occurrence.</p><p>Remarks. In regard to the shape of the gnathosomal rostrum which is of more or less uniform height along its length, the new species resembles K. vietsi . The latter species can easily be separated from the new species by the shape of palp with P-2 lacking denticles and P-3 with a well-developed ventral projection in posterior half of the segment (see Fig. 671 in Cook 1986).</p><p>Distribution.

Coxae in four groups and genital field free; gnathosomal bay deep; medial margins of first coxae separated; Cxgl-4 close to the middle of Cx-IV; secondary sclerotization of Cx-IV well developed, enclosing Vgl-3, and embracing anterior part of the genital field (Figure 16B), distance between tips of Cx-I and posterior end of Cx-IV 278, Cx-III width 241. Genital field (Figure 16C) 103 long and 127 wide, with three pairs of acetabula arranged in a weakly curved line, maximum diameter Ac 1–3: 27, 21, 20; anterior margin of genital field slightly concave, gonopore 39 long and 27 wide.</p><p>Palp as illustrated in Figure 16D: dorsal length/height: P1, 13/28; P2, 50/39; P3, 76/41; P4, 96/22; P5, 44/11; ventral margin of P2 with a projection, denticles present on this projection and on the ventral side of P3, ventral margin P4 on a well-developed tubercle in posterior part of the segment.
