Where 1902	<div><p>Genus Blakistonia Hogg, 1902</p><p>Blakistonia Hogg, 1902: 131 . Type species Blakistonia aurea Hogg, 1902, by original designation. Rix et al, 2017c: 582. Cantuarides Strand, 1907: 8 . Type species Cantuarides exsiccatus Strand, 1907, by original designation (synonymised by Main, 1985: 39).</p><p>Diagnosis. Most species of Blakistonia can be distinguished from those of other Arbanitinae by the following combination of characters (sensu Rix et al. 2017c): a relatively narrow carapace in dorsal view (e.g., Figs 5A, 6A) (relative to species of Euoplos Rainbow, 1914); a square or subquadrate eye group (e.g., Figs 5D, 7D); the presence of scopulae on tarsi I and II of females (e.g., Fig. 18G, H); and the absence of a distal retrolateral tibial apophysis on the male pedipalp (e.g., Fig. 5J, L). Species of Blakistonia can be further distinguished from those of most Euoplini, Arbanitini and Aganippini by the square or subquadrate eye group. Some species of Eucyrtops (tribe Aganippini) have a similar subquadrate eye group to species of Blakistonia (e.g., Eucyrtops eremaeus Main, 1957), and some Blakistonia can have a marginally trapezoidal eye group (e.g., B. nullarborensis sp. n. [Fig. 20D] and B. wingellina sp. n. [Fig. 28D]). However, similar species of Aganippini can be distinguished from Blakistonia by a more strongly attenuate base to the RTA (Rix et al. 2017c). See Rix et al. (2017c) for diagnostic molecular characters.</p><p>Description. Small to large idiopid spiders, usually dark brown to golden or orange-brown in colour (Fig. 1 A–I). Carapace oval-shaped (e.g., Figs 6A, 9A, 10A), commonly with line of setae between fovea and eye group (Fig. 8D), and males with fringe of setae around lateral carapace (Fig. 14A); fovea procurved in females and commonly straight in males (Fig. 5A) or slightly procurved (Fig. 6A). Eye group square (Fig. 5A) or subquadrate (Figs 7D, 22D), rarely trapezoidal (Figs 20D, 28D); anterior eye row always strongly procurved (Figs 5D, 6D, 7D). Chelicerae with rastellum of several strong conical spines in both males and females and with a row of teeth on each edge of furrow, the teeth decreasing in size from distal to proximal end. Maxillae rectanguloid, wider behind than in front, with setae becoming longer towards interior margins; maxillary cuspules present in some males (Fig. 17F) and all females (Fig. 6F), becoming denser towards interior margins; labium wider than long, with slightly recurved or straight posterior edge, with two longer clumps of curved setae on anterior lateral edges; labial cuspules present in some males (Fig. 14F) and some females (Fig. 15F). Sternum without distinct sigilla or with three distinct pairs in which anterior pair are smallest, the median pair bigger and the posterior pair largest, as in most mygalomorphs. Abdomen oval, typically with chevron pattern dorsally (Figs 9A, 10A) and 1–5 pairs of unsclerotised sigilla (Figs 15A, 28A) in females and also males of B. olea sp. n., but not distinct in B. nullaborensis . Legs with scopulae ventrally on tarsi I, II (Fig. 7G, H) and metatarsi I, II of all females and some males (Fig. 11A), and palpal tarsus of females. Male tibia I with either prolateral clasping spurs on tibia I, each with raised cuticular bases and bearing multiple terminal peg-like macrosetae (Fig. 8 G–I), two prolateral macrosetae (Fig. 11 G–I), or a single prolateral macroseta (Fig. 9 G–I). Leg tarsi with three claws, one row of teeth on paired claws; female pedipalp claw without teeth. Male pedipalp with short, pointed RTA with broad base; RTA covered in spinules (Fig. 14 J–L); cymbium with field of spinules disto-dorsally in most species, sometimes spine-like; embolus simple, slightly twisted, most species with broad base (Fig. 5 J–L). Spermathecae paired, simple, unbranched, stout and outward facing, oval-shaped in most species, covered in opaque mottled brown glandular nodules (Fig. 18I). Four spinnerets, posterior lateral pair three-segmented, apical article short with domed or conical tip, posterior median pair small, digitiform.</p><p>Distribution. Blakistonia has a distribution that is centred on southern South Australia (Rix et al. 2017c), especially Adelaide and the Mount Lofty Ranges, and extending north into the central arid zone and into the southern Northern Territory around Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. They are also sparsely distributed in Queensland, western inland New South Wales, western Victoria, south-western Western Australia and eastern inland Western Australia, near the Western Australian/South Australian/ Northern Territory border. Blakistonia are absent from mesic south-eastern Australia (east of the Grampians Range), the northern half of the Northern Territory and most of arid New South Wales and western inland/northern Western Australia (see Rix et al. 2017c, fig. 68 and Figures 29–34 for summary distribution maps.)</p><p>Composition. Blakistonia includes one previously described species, B. aurea Hogg, 1902, and 19 new species: B. bassi sp. n., B. bella sp. n., B. birksi sp. n., B. carnarvon sp. n., sp. n., B. emmottorum sp. n., B. gemmelli sp. n., B. hortoni sp. n., B. mainae sp. n., B. maryae sp. n., B. newtoni sp. n., B. nullarborensis sp. n., B. olea sp. n., B. parva sp. n., B. pidax sp. n., B. plata sp. n., B. raveni sp. n., B. tariae sp. n., B. tunstilli sp. nov. and B. wingellina sp. n.</p><p>Biology and remarks. Blakistonia is a diverse group, both in distribution and number of species. Spiders are found in a variety of habitats, from mossy banks in the mesic, high rainfall zone of the Mount Lofty Ranges, to arid desert areas such as those in northern and inland South Australia and Western Australia. The burrows of the most common species, B. aurea, are characteristically D-shaped, slightly indented and plug-like (Fig. 2B, 2L); however, other species build a variety of different burrows, including round, indented, plug-like lids (Fig. 2 F–G, K), wafer-like lids (Fig. 2D, E), and also burrows that are twig-lined (Fig. 2 H–J). Wandering Blakistonia males are usually collected after rainfall events, most frequently in March to May, but have also been collected later in the year from June to September.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C10411555BFFCBE1E8FD3CFDEDFB82	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Blakistonia aurea has the broadest distribution of all species in the genus. It is found throughout the north-eastern Eyre Peninsula, the Yorke Peninsula, Flinders Ranges, Fleurieu Peninsula, and Mount Lofty Ranges, as well as western Victoria and far south-western New South Wales (Fig. 30).</p><p>Remarks. Blakistonia aurea reaches a high population density in some areas around Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula in optimal conditions. The preferred habitat is clay banks, and the spiders can often be found on roadside cuttings and creek banks. Males are often found after rain in swimming pools or wandering on verandas. The spiders build a characteristic thick D-shaped plug burrow (Fig. 2 A–C). Rainbow and Pulleine (1918) and Main (1985) observed that spiders sometimes construct a burrow with an unusual crenulated edge, simulating a clam-shell (Fig. 2A). These populations were sampled and included in the molecular study, which confirmed that they did fall within B. aurea, suggesting that this is a behavioural adaption to certain conditions. We have examined the holotype of Ag. villosa and agree with its synonymy following Main (1985).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C104115544FFDFE1E8FF66FE2DF8DF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Blakistonia bassi is known from only a single roadside cutting at Ashton in the Mount Lofty Ranges, (Fig. 31). A number of active burrows were found in 2017; however, the species has not been found elsewhere in the Mount Lofty Range despite extensive historical collection, and was not discovered anywhere else as part of this project.</p><p>Remarks. The burrow (Fig. 2D, E) is similar to that of Idiosoma in its thin, cryptic, flap-like nature, and certainly different to the D-shaped, plug-like burrow typical of B. aurea . All burrows found were adorned with moss and cryptic in appearance (Fig. 2D, E).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C10411554DFFDDE1E8FF66FD66FE3E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Blakistonia birksi is known from Ngarkat Conservation Park in south-eastern South Australia, Cleland Conservation Park and Mark Oliphant Conservation Park in the Mount Lofty Ranges, and the Grampians National Park in Victoria (Fig. 32).</p><p>Remarks. The sandy habitat of Ngarkat Conservation Park is unusual for the genus, as most species of Blakistonia generally prefer to build burrows in clay. This species is further unusual in that it exists in two locations in the Mount Lofty Ranges, which have historically been well collected; however, this species was not found in the SAM collection. This could potentially be due to the cryptic nature and small size of the burrow lids.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C104115549FFE7E1E8FF66FA87FAA2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Blakistonia maryae is found on the Eyre Peninsula, and is known from Tumby Bay, the Middleback Ranges, Kimba, and two localities in the Gawler Ranges (Fig. 32).</p><p>Remarks. The burrow lid of B. maryae is D-shaped and slightly indented (Fig. 2 H–K). The rim of the burrow is usually lined with twigs and small leaves (Fig. 2 H–K), which although common in other idiopid genera such as Idiosoma and Gaius, has not been previously documented in Blakistonia . These twigs are used as ‘feeling lines’ to increase the area of foraging (Main 1962). Twig-lining was not observed in the specimen from Kolay Hut, Gawler Ranges (Fig. 2K), however, it is likely that the absence of twig-lining was a result of the burrow being built on an unconsolidated bank, with erosion and no leaf litter available. We have tentatively linked the females from Tumby Bay and Gawler Ranges with the males from Kimba and Mount Crawford, due to their distributions on the Eyre Peninsula, and no conflicting differences in other morphological features, such as eye group shape.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C10411557BFFF6E1E8FBEDFB6AFD5F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
