Eye field brown, eyes with black surrounds. Thorax with dark-orange median stripe, the rest brown, darker towards lower margin, with radial lines from fovea area towards margins. Carapace not particularly hairy, grey and brownish, longer anteriorly. Abdomen elongate, dark-grey with lighter pattern of lines of small spots. Hairs sparse, greyish and brown.Anterior and posterior spinnerets dark, median yellowish. Clypeus brown with sparse brownish and greyish hairs. Chelicerae smudged orange, distally lighter, promargin with 4, retromargin with 8 teeth (Fig. 8E). Pedipalps smudged brown, dorsal femora and distal parts of podomeres lighter, hairs greyish. Maxillae smudged orange, labium smudged brown, both with lighter apices, the first elongate. Sternum smudged orange-brown. Venter dark-grey with longitudinal rows of light spots. Legs orange-brown, not particularly hairy. Legs I with 3 and 2 pairs of spines on tibiae and metatarsi, respectively. Legs II with similar spines. Epigyne (Fig. 8F–H) with posterior lobe—typical for Sondra, insemination ducts short, spermathecae bean-shape accompanied with accessory glands. Dimensions: CL 2.07, EFL 1.07, AEW 1.64, PEW 1.53, CW 1.67, AL 3.03.</p> <p>Distribution (Fig. 7). The species is common in eastern Australia and is found in rainforest leaf litter.</p> <p>Remarks. Wanless (1988) classified the species within Arasia. It has, however, typical characteristics of Sondra: cephalothorax is box-shaped rather than pear-shaped as in Arasia, the epigyne lacks long insemination ducts, the embolus is short and the tibial apophyses is massive and complicated like in some Sondra species. The species should be classified within the Sondra nepenthicola species group (Wanless, 1988).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C887FDFFAFBA13EFB1829BFC5CA00A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
