Badge Huntsman Spiders
Neosparassus
Neosparassus is a genus of huntsman spiders found in Australia and first described by Henry Roughton Hogg in 1903. Members of this genus most closely resemble those of Heteropoda, except that the cephalothorax is high, peaking between the midpoint and the eyes, before sloping toward the back. This angle causes the front of these spiders to appear more prominent than it actually is.
