The Illawarra funnel-web spider is a brown, burrowing spider from south-eastern Australia. It is the only species in its genus, and it is found only in the Illawarra region of southern New South Wales. Its venom is similar to that of a funnel-web species known to cause dangerous effects in people, although it is not one of the species listed as dangerous.1

見分け方

Adults are basically brown.1
The abdomen has an obvious pattern of narrow chevrons (V-shaped stripes).1
Mature males have a body length of about 15 millimetres, and females are of a similar size and appearance.1
Both sexes are said to have an "ant-like" smell.1

よくまちがえられるのは： Males can be told apart from other atracid spiders by a broad row of spines on the underside of the feet of all four pairs of legs. Females can be told apart by their first pair of legs, which have no spines, have the metatarsus partly fused to the tarsus, and have enlarged claws.1

その毒（かむ・刺す毒）はどうなるの？

A 2001 study of the peptides (small protein chains) in atracine spider venom found that the venom of this spider has a similar profile to that of Atrax robustus. Atrax robustus is a species known to have caused dangerous effects in humans.1

人にとってどれくらい危険？

This spider is not one of the six atracine species listed as dangerous. Its venom profile, however, is similar to that of a species that has caused serious harm to people.1

かまれたら

かまれたところを洗って冷やそう。痛みが強かったり、その人の具合が悪くなったりしたら、医療の助けを受けて。
オーストラリアでは、大きな黒いクモにかまれたら、ジョウゴグモにかまれたものとして手当てしよう：圧迫固定法：かまれたところの上から、しっかりした伸びる包帯をまき、そのまま手足全体にまき上げ、添え木で固定して、助けが来るまでその人をまったく動かさないようにしよう。
