Hickmania
Hickmania is a monotypic genus of Australian cribellate araneomorph spiders in the family Gradungulidae, containing only the Tasmanian cave spider (Hickmania troglodytes).
The genus was first described by Willis J. Gertsch in 1958, and has been found only in Tasmania. It had been thought to be an ancient Gondwanan lineage, long since separated from its closest relatives in South America in the family Austrochilidae, but more recent data show it belongs to the Australia–New Zealand family Gradungulidae.
