TYPES: Female holotype, male allotype, and male paratype taken in pitfall traps in open forest at an elevation of 1080 m on Mount Spurgeon , 16 ° 27 ̍ S, 145 ° 11 ̍ E, Queensland (Nov. 19, 1997 – Feb. 8, 1998; G. Monteith, D. Cook), deposited in QMB ( S43899 View Materials ) .

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

DIAGNOSIS: Males can easily be recognized by the basally widened terminal elements of the palpal bulb (fig. 255), females by the pair of anteromedian epigynal hoods (fig. 257).

MALE: Total length 4.8. Coloration as in D. bulburin . Leg spination: tibiae: IV v22 2, r011; metatarsi: III v202; IV p010, v222, r110. Retrolateral tibial apophysis short, triangular, paracymbial apophysis short (fig. 256); embolus short, twisted terminal elements of bulb basally widened, basal portion translucent (fig. 255)

FEMALE: Total length 6.1. Coloration as in male. Leg spination: tibiae: III v21p2; IV v222, r011; metatarsi: III v202; IV p0 10, v222, r110. Margins of epigynal atri um indistinct except at pair of paramedian anterior hoods (fig. 257); median ducts extended longitudinally to height of epigynal hoods (fig. 258).
