Species of spider

Austrachelas reavelli is a species of spider in the family Gallieniellidae. It is endemic to South Africa.[1]

Austrachelas reavelli is endemic to KwaZulu-Natal province, known from the northern parts at elevations ranging from 340–634 m above sea level. It has been recorded from Hluhluwe-uMfolozi Game Park and Ngoye Forest (type locality).[2]

The species was sampled from Forest and Savanna biomes.[2]

Both sexes are known. The carapace is orange-brown in color, slightly paler along the midline. The opisthosoma displays mottled pale grey chevron markings.[2]

Austrachelas reavelli is listed as Data Deficient. The species is known from two subpopulations in protected areas (Ngoye Forest and Hluhluwe-uMfolozi Game Park), but is likely under-collected. Additional sampling is required to determine its range and assess threats outside protected areas.[2]
