About Megadolomedes trux (Lamb, 1911)
Like many spider species, Megadolomedes trux exhibits strong sexual size dimorphism. Females have a total body length of approximately 30 mm (1.2 in), while males have a total body length of around 7.6 mm (0.30 in). It is classified as one of the largest spider species native to Australia. This spider has a brown, earth-coloured abdomen and long, pseudosegmented tarsi. Superficially, the species resembles the American spider genus Trechalea. Megadolomedes trux occurs east of the Great Dividing Range, in the Australian states of New South Wales and Queensland. Its distribution extends from Gordon in the southern part of its range to Cooktown in the north.
