TYPE: Female holotype taken in open eucalypt forest litter in Bondi State Forest , S Bombala, 378089S, 1498099E, New South Wales (Jan. 26, 1981; G. Gowing), deposited in AMS ( KS12105 ) .

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

DIAGNOSIS: Males and females have not been taken together, but are tentatively matched on the basis of geography; males can easily be recognized by the semicircular tip of the median apophysis (fig. 478), females by the spermathecae with distinctive compressions at about half their length (fig. 481).

MALE: Total length 5.4. Coloration as in C. keira except abdominal dorsum without transverse white stripe, scutum extending about two­thirds of abdominal length. Leg spination: femora: II p0­1­1; III p0­1­1, r0­ 1­1; IV p0­0­1. Retrolateral tibial apophysis straight, bifid at tip (fig. 479); embolar apophysis long, originating at proximal tip of bulb; tegular apophysis with long apical projection; median apophysis with semicircular, recurved tip (fig. 478).

FEMALE: Total length 8.1. Coloration as in C. keira . Leg spination: tibiae III p0­1­1, r0­ 1­1. Epigynal atrium rounded, anterior margin bipartite, septum narrow anteriorly (fig. 480); spermathecae laterally compressed at about half their length (fig. 481).
