Lathyarcha

Lathyarcha is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders that was first described by Eugène Simon in 1908.[2] As of May 2019 it contains only three species: L. cinctipes, L. inornata, and L. tetrica.[1] Originally placed with the intertidal spiders, it was moved to the Matachiinae (subfamily of Amaurobiidae) in 1967.[3]
