Beregama aurea, sometimes called the golden huntsman, is a species of spider endemic to Queensland and parts of New South Wales, Australia. It is a member of the genus Beregama of huntsman spiders.

Description

This species closely resembles Beregama cordata.[1] It also resembles several other Australian huntsman spiders, especially species from the genus Neosparassus, although it is much larger than most Neosparassus members.[2]

Range

The species is mostly found in Far North Queensland, but is apparently found as far south as Ballina, New South Wales.[2]
