Holconia flindersi Hirst, 1991 Flinders Banded Huntsman

A black and grey banded, large huntsman found from the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, east to Broken Hill in New South Wales and Meringur in the North-West Corner of Victoria. In part its distribution overlaps the ranges of two other very similar species, H. murrayensis and H. colberti making it difficult to distinguish. Commonly found near creeks and the River Murray on Eucalyptus camaldulensis and when away from water under the bark of Casuarina spp. ♀ 24mm ♂ 20mm.
