Treatment

Eterosonycha complexa ( Forster, 1959) , comb. n.

Textricella complexa Forster, 1959: 277 , figs 4–9 (holotype male from Royal National Park, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, in QMB, not examined). Brignoli, 1983: 375. Davies, 1985: 113. Platnick, 2009.

Remarks. Eterosonycha complexa is the northern-most species of the genus Eterosonycha , known from just south of Sydney, New South Wales. The male pedipalp is highly apomorphic and extremely complex (hence the name) (see Forster 1959, figs 4–5).
