Here are two photos from a great series by Rolf Bottenbruch, undescribed Selenotholus sp. depositing eggs, pretty cool if you've never seen it up close before!

Another pic from Rolf. This has to be one of the best breeding pics I've ever seen! Selenocosmia crassipes, if you perve hard enough you can see the old fella going the grope :eek: I've seen spider porn here, but never such explicit spider porn, should this be rated??? :cool:

3 more undescribed Aussie T's, the first one is from the undescribed genus, sp.2.



And 2 unkowns, the orange one probably Selenotypus.

Thanks Fry, they are an awesome genus, great attitudes, but they do pack a punch. One of the collectors here in Oz was recently bitten by a big female, she nailed him good :) He was really crook for quite a while too. For the most part though the spiders from this genus are fairly quiet in nature. The other really interesting thing regarding this genus is the presence of dwarf males in most of the species. There're some articles coming up in a couple of the Soc. journals regarding this genus, keep an eye out :)
