They have two small spinnerets seen at the rear end of the body, usually pointing up. Some have Y shaped shallow burrows, to about 40cm deep, with one arm slightly concealed below the surface of the soil. The main entrance is lightly covered with silk but has no door. Males have long thin legs which usually have a spine. In Queensland's South-east Mottled Eastern Namea spp. occur in rainforest. Black Anamespp. occur in drier parts of Queensland. The Bearded Xamiatus magnificus body length about 6cm, also occurs In Queensland. Open-holed Trapdoor Spiders occur in all habitats throughout Australia, including Tasmania, but are rare in far north Queensland.
