Which species are they?
HI
There are a lot of T's yet to be identified in Australia and the majority in my collection are unidentified but we are working on it.
The first pic is a male possibly Phlogiellus sp.
The second pic is a recent capture and has been tentatively suggested as Selenotholus sp.
The third pic is Selenotypus plumipes
Number four is also unidentified but is tentatively Phlogiellus sp. I have collected many spiders from the one area and have discovered about 3 or 4 species of which Phlogiellus is one and this one follows the discription for that species.
The last pic has been positively identified as (soon to be Phlogius)Selenocosmia pseudocrassipes
Cheers
Brendan

What is the latin name for a Huntsman? Friend of mine lived in Australia for a year and experienced a spider that hung out at her place for about a month.

A couple more of our T's
Selenotholus sp.

Selenotholus sterlingi

Selenotypus plumipes (male)

Two mature plumipes from different locations, as yet to be seen if it is a colour variation but I have several and all the dark ones are from one area and the light ones from another.

New species yet to be described, shedding

Cheers

That is a great opportunity for you, being involved with Ts that are not identified yet. Must be a lot of fun!

The T's Just look so perfect, no crappy bald patches, no scratch marks from burrow, just smooth.
Your a lucky guy

I am always looking for T's where ever I go, drives the girlfriend mad.
I have plenty of new places I want to look that I know people just haven't been to looking for T's but the distances here are large, just to go for a drive up the road can be 4 or more hours. Heres hoping for some more new species over the Christmas break.
The second photo is in sand but for that species it was only for contrast. The arid species do live in sand but I wet it first to settle it and by the time they finish burrowing it sets like concrete.
