hey, Missulena sp. belong to Actinopodidae and not all species of this genus are native to Australia...
Missulena tussulena comes from Chile ;)
YES YES YES!! Haha, you've made my day!! I've been wanting these for years now. We do a lot of importing inverts from Chile, so hopefully one of our lovely import/ export arachnopeeps will get some of these soon. I thought they were all in Oz. ( I guess I should read the World Spider Catalogue more often, huh? )

hi,
the whole quotation from WSC 9.0:
mf tussulena Goloboff, 1994....................Chile [urn:lsid:amnh.org:spidersp:000934]
M. t. Goloboff, 1994b: 71, f. 5 (Df; N.B.: specimens formerly placed as f of Plesiolena bonneti by Goloboff & Platnick, 1987).
M. t. Grismado & Goloboff, 2006: 101, f. 1-8 (Dm).
Get the papers (and send me a copy pls ^^), all necessary data will be in there - wonder if this sp. is really a Missulena sp. :confused:
