(after Huber 2001): This possibly biggest of all pholcid species is easily distinguished from other Australian pholcids by its large size. Both the procursus and the epigynum are unique. It probably originated from the Middle East. Its (poorly known) congeners are from Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, and Tadzhikistan.
