They can be distinguished from those of other members of the mainae group as follows: from A. lorica Castalanelli, Framenau, Huey, Hillyer &amp; Harvey, 2020 by the more elongate embolus and more elongate asetose depression on the pedipalpal tibia (PDL/PTL 0.65 cf. 0.60) (Fig. 4K–M; cf. Castalanelli et al. 2020: fig. 55); from A. aragog Harvey, Framenau, Wojcieszek, Rix &amp; Harvey, 2012 and A. mcleeryorum Harvey &amp; Huey, 2020 by their much more elongate embolus (Fig. 4L–M; cf. Harvey et al. 2012: figs 32–33; Harvey et al. 2020: fig. 73); from A. exulans Harvey &amp; Huey, 2020 by the embolus, which is clearly demarcated from the bulb (Fig. 4L–M; cf. Harvey et al. 2020: fig. 15); and from A. mainae Raven, 2000 by the longer asetose depression on the pedipalpal tibia (Fig. 4K; cf. Main 1982: fig. 2B).</p> <p>Females of A. salina sp. nov. can be distinguished from all those of other species of Aname by their spermathecae, which consist of single, elongate vesicles with several articulations, and tiny accessory vesicles near the base. Only A. lorica possesses a similar conformation, but in A. salina the primary vesicles are more elongate (Fig. 5L; cf. Castalanelli et al. 2020: figs 60–61). Like in males, females of mainae group species (including A. salina) also generally have highly elongate posterior sigilla and faint abdominal chevrons (Figs 1C, 5B, G).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>The species epithet refers to the coastal distribution of this species (‘ salina ’, Latin, for ‘salt’, ‘salty’) (Brown 1956).</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype AUSTRALIA – Western Australia • ♂; Ashburton Salt, ca 25.2 km WSW of Onslow; 21°43′ S, 114°53′ E; 12 Apr. 2019; D.

Although these were recovered as monophyletic groups (Fig. 1), average pairwise divergence in COI between them is just 5.15% (low for COI in mygalomorph spiders, see Castalanelli et al. 2014) and they show no evidence of morphological divergence based on the samples available to us. The habitat in the regions where this species occurs is a mix of bare sand and salt flats, tussock, and hummock (spinifex) grasslands, and coastal habitats. Based on when adult males of this species have been collected, they appear to mature in Autumn (March/April).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0876101EFFB0FFB3FD39A039E3D96CCF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

They can further be distinguished by their unique embolus, which is very short (about 0.8 × bulb length), and curved, with a basal flange or embolic apophysis (Fig. 7K–M).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>The specific epithet is an adjective meaning ‘thin-footed’, formed from the Latin ‘ tenuis ’, meaning ‘thin’, and ‘ pes ’ meaning ‘foot’ (Brown 1956). This is in reference to the elongate, cylindrical metatarsus I of this species, which lacks a proximal excavation – a distinguishing feature of this species.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype AUSTRALIA – Western Australia • ♂; Dundas Nature Reserve; 32°26′ S, 122°50′ E; 21 Oct. 2009; K.

It is a member of the pulchella group (Clade 5) sensu Rix et al. (2021) (Fig. 1).</p> <p>Distribution and natural history</p> <p>Currently, specimens of Aname tenuipes sp. nov. are known from two quite disjunct areas, the first is around the type locality in Dundas Nature Reserve and areas relatively close by such as Lake Lefroy, in central-southern Western Australia. The second is in or near the Great Victoria Desert, inland, around the border of Western Australia and South Australia. The species is presumably also found in the region between these areas. The habitat in these areas includes eucalypt, Acacia and Casuarina woodlands and mallee. Based on when adult males of this species have been collected, they appear to mature in Spring (September–November).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0876101EFFBAFFA8FD24A4E1E6A06D8F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Other species with this combination of characters include A. marae Harvey, Framenau, Wojcieszek, Rix &amp; Harvey, 2012, A. pulchella Harvey, Wilson &amp; Rix, 2022, A. watsoni (all from Western Australia), and A. barrema Raven, 1985 and A. distincta (Rainbow, 1914) (both from eastern Australia). They can be distinguished from A. barrema and A. distincta by their stouter pedipalpal tibia and thicker embolus (Fig. 8K; cf. Raven 1985: figs 47–48); from A. marae by their metatarsus I, which has a more distinctly concave proximal excavation, resulting in a clearer demarcation of the proximal and distal sections of the metatarsus (Fig. 8Q; cf. Harvey et al. 2012: fig. 49); from A. pulchella by the longer proximal excavation on metatarsus I (MIPEL/MIL 0.52 vs 0.43 in respective holotypes) (Fig. 8Q; cf. Harvey et al. 2022: fig. 35); and from A. watsoni by the embolus, which has a more distinct articulation distally (Fig. 8K–M; cf. Castalanelli et al. 2020: figs 136–138).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>The specific epithet is a noun in apposition in reference to the Wongalara Wildlife Sanctuary, a conservation estate owned and managed by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC), where the holotype of this species was collected.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype AUSTRALIA – Northern Territory • ♂; Wongalara Wildlife Sanctuary, pitfall trap site 4; 14°10′ S, 134°13′ E; 1–6 Jul. 2012; M.S.
