Moruga thickthorni
Moruga thickthorni is a species of mygalomorph spider in the Barychelidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1994 by Australian arachnologist Robert Raven. The specific epithet thickthorni honours Australian naturalist Charles Walter De Vis (1829–1915), who wrote many popular articles under the pen-name ‘Thickthorn’ before becoming the first Director of the Queensland Museum.
