Barahna

Barahna is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders that was first described by V. T. Davies in 2003.[2] The name is derived from baran-barahn, the Bundjalung word for "spider".[2] Originally placed with the Stiphidiidae,[2] it was moved to the intertidal spiders after the results of a 2017 genetic study.[3]
