This rather large species has a broad transverse black band in 

 front of spinnerets as well as shield behind genital fold. The 

 male palp flagellum has 10 spii'als ; and although the species is

Type species, Isopeda vasta L. Koch. 



This genus, both in number of specimens as a whole as well as 

 of species (or subspecies), is by far the most largely represented 

 of the group in Australia,. Its limitations are not veiy clearly 

 defined, but certainly include Thorell's genus Holconia. It would
