Abstract	INTRODUCTION In 1909 Eugene Simon described Habrocestum chrysomelas based on a single male that had been collected by Michaelsen and Hartmeyer on their expedition to south-western Australia in 1905. Subsequent published accounts have been limited to catalogue listings (Rainbow, 1911; Roewer, 1954; Bonnet, 1957) and a description of the male holotype and only known specimen by Zabka (1987). Recent collections of spiders from different regions of Australia have included many specimens of L. chrysomelas, which indicate that the spider has a widespread distribution in drier, semi-arid regions of the continent. I here present a redescription of the male based on recent material and the first description of the female of this little-known species.
