Etymology. The specific epithet is an adjective referring to the Australian state where this species is found, Queensland. Other material examined. Only known from holotype male. Diagnosis. Males of K. queenslandica sp. nov. are easily distinguished from other species in this group as they are the only species in which the basal half of the cymbium carries short, stout macrosetae retrolaterally (Fig. 21C, D). Description. Male (based on holotype, QM S33549). Cephalothorax. Dorsally dark brown with median light band slightly narrowing posteriorly; lateral light bands indistinct (Fig. 21A). Sternum: very dark brown (Fig. 21B). Abdomen. Dorsally olive-brown; cardiac mark continuous with dark spots bordering in posterior half (Fig. 21A); venter olive-brown (Fig. 21B). Pedipalps (Fig. 21C, D; slightly expanded and twisted within the cymbium; apical section not dissected not to compromise morphology of single holotype). Retrolateral short stout macrosetae in basal half of cymbium tegular apophysis a white lobe; embolus narrow sickle-shaped. Legs. Light brown, some indistinct dark annulations; spination of leg I: femur: 3 dorsal (apical one small), 1 apicoprolateral; tibia: 4 ventral pair (apical ones small), 1 prolateral; metatarsus: 3 ventral pairs; 3 prolateral, 1 retrolateral.
