- Abstract
The open-holed trapdoor spider genus Aname L. Koch, 1873 is widely distributed throughout Australia, and currently contains 44 named species. Using a combination of morphological and molecular data, we describe five new species from the Wheatbelt, Mid-west and Goldfields regions of Western Australia: A. exulans sp. nov., A. lillianae sp. nov., A. mccleeryorum sp. nov., A. phillipae sp. nov. and A. simoneae sp. nov. The female holotype of Aname armigera Rainbow and Pulleine, 1918 from near Mullewa was examined and found to belong to the genus Proshermacha Simon forming the new combination P. armigera (Rainbow and Pulleine, 1918), comb. nov.
