Abstract: The Australasian lycosid genus Venatrix Roewer, 1960, with Venator fuscus Hogg, 1900 as type, is reinstated and redefined to include 22 species as follows: Venatrix funesta (C. L. Koch, 1847), comb. nov. (= Venator fuscus Hogg, 1900 syn. nov.) V. penola, sp. nov. V. australiensis, sp. nov. V. roo, sp. nov. V. mckayi, sp. nov. V. koori, sp. nov. V. archookoora, sp. nov. V. pictiventris (L. Koch, 1877), comb. nov. V. hickmani, sp. nov. V. allopictiventris, sp. nov. V. speciosa (L. Koch, 1877), comb. nov. (= Lycosa mayama McKay, 1976 syn. nov.) V. esposica, sp. nov. V. pseudospeciosa, sp. nov. V. brisbanae (L. Koch, 1878), comb. nov. V. forsteri, sp. nov. V. lapidosa (McKay, 1974), comb. nov. V. fontis, sp. nov. V. furcillata (L. Koch, 1867), comb. nov. V. arenaris (Hogg, 1905), comb. nov. V. pullastra (Simon, 1909), comb. nov. V. goyderi (Hickman, 1944), comb. nov. (= Lycosa howensis McKay, 1979 syn. nov.) and V. hoggi, sp. nov. Hogna albosparsa (L. Koch, 1876) is considered nomen dubium. Venatrix comprises species mainly found in temperate forests and open areas near watercourses, lakes and springs. Notes on the distribution together with maps, zoogeography and subfamilial placement of Venatrix are given. A solution is proposed to resolve confusion over the dates of some of Roewer’s publications.

Abstract: The orb-weaving spider genus Novakiella Court & Forster, 1993 (family Araneidae Clerck, 1757) is reviewed to include two species, N. trituberculosa (Roewer, 1942) (type species, Australia and New Zealand) and N. boletus sp. nov. (Australia). Novakiella belongs to the informal, largely Australian ‘backobourkiine’ clade and shares with the other genera of the clade a single macroseta on the male pedipalp patella and a median apophysis of the male pedipalp that forms an arch over the radix. The proposed genus synapomorphies are the presence of a large basal conductor lobe expanding apically over the radix and the shape of the median apophysis, which extends into a basally directed, pointy projection. Males have an apico-prolateral spur on the tibia of the second leg that carries a distinct spine. Females have an epigyne with triangular base plate bearing transverse ridges and an elongate triangular scape, which is almost always broken off. The humeral humps of the abdomen are distinct. Novakiella trituberculosa build characteristic dome-shaped webs however, the foraging behaviour and web-shape of N. boletus sp. nov ., currently only known from museum specimens, are not known.
