Gippsicola is a genus of Australia tube dwelling spiders that was first described by Henry Roughton Hogg in 1900.[2] It is no longer considered a junior synonym of Segestria[3][4] due to anatomical differences in the pedipalps of males and the receptaculum in females.[5]

Species

(As of September 2019) it contains four species, found in New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland:[1]

  • Gippsicola lineata Giroti & Brescovit, 2017Australia (Queensland)
  • Gippsicola minuta Giroti & Brescovit, 2017 – Australia (Queensland)
  • Gippsicola raleighi Hogg, 1900 (type) – Australia (Western, South, Victoria)
  • Gippsicola robusta Giroti & Brescovit, 2017 – Australia (Queensland, New South Wales)
