This species is not often found by members of the public in South-east Queensland because it prefers rainforest locations which tend to be within the National Park boundaries of the Queensland-New South Wales border ranges. The lighter patches on the legs of this species appear to be distinctive but are most obvious on immature females and tend to darken as the spiders reach adulthood.

Known Range: This spider is mainly found in the border ranges of South Queensland and Northern NSW.

Spider(s) with a very similar appearance: None.
