Remarks. I have examined the specimens from Goolwa, South Australia , listed by Hogg (1905) as Lycosa clara (SAM NN453–6; 4 females ). They belong to Venator spenceri Hogg, 1900 as already suggested by McKay (1979) . The specimens listed by Hogg (1914) from Montebello and Hermite Islands, Western Australia (NHM 1924.3.1.1018–27; 1 female , 9 juveniles ; examined) are an undescribed species illustrated as Lycosa meracula Simon, 1909 by McKay (1979) . Lycosa meracula has recently been established as junior synonym of Tetralycosa oraria (L. Koch, 1876) and is not conspecific with the species illustrated by McKay (1979) (Framenau et al. in press). The mating sequence of male K. clara comb. nov. is unknown, but the presence of a strong, sclerotised ridge dorso­apically on the pedipalp tibia in males suggests the presence of a stridulatory component in the mating signal of males, possibly coupled to the substrate via the large patch of macrosetae on the cymbium tip ( Rovner 1975 ). The preference for sandy substrates that may provide only limited resistance to the macrosetae on the cymbium tip may have facilitated the evolution of a relatively large patch of setae in comparison with other species. To elucidate the particular function of the macrosetae in K. clara comb. nov. , detailed experiments with a manipulation of the size of the macrosetae patch and substrate composition are required.
