Dorsum with dense cover of erect long dark brown bristles; venter with dense cover of weak, short, sub-erect brown bristles.</p> <p>Remarks. This holotype specimen was earlier erroneously thought to have been collected from the Bondi State Forest (S.E. N.S.W.). It is the only example of the species presently known. It is extraordinary that more have not been collected during the long period that the Bondi urban area of Sydney has been densely settled. Albeit this phenomenon is shared by the recently described M. wayorum Wishart, 2006 and is additional to the eleven known species found from the Sydney region (Wishart, 2006). The conformation of the specimen precludes it being conspecific with M. maculosus (Rainbow &amp; Pulleine, 1918).</p> <p>Etymology. The species is named in recognition of arachnologist and curator of arachnids at the Australian Museum, Graham Milledge.</p> <p>Distribution and natural history. The spider is known only from the type locality, the Sydney seaside suburb of Bondi. That a few grains of sand are retained in the fovea of this specimen and Bondi being a sandstone locality supports the integrity of the type locality report.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE27C928FFAC5930FC5EFC6E93BAFD94	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Our thanks to Mr Graham Milledge for providing access to the Australian Museum spider collection; thanks also is extended to Drs Michael Gray and Helen Smith (Australian Museum) and Dr Robert Raven (Queensland Museum) for the benefit of their expertise. Dr Smith is also thanked for providing the mapping. Dr jeremy Brownlie supplied invaluable help with DNA sequencing of some of the species described here.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE27C928FFA0593FFC7FFDB89597FE84	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
