Diagnosis: Males differ from those of A. monteithi in the longer, more slender median apophysis and the ventral groove on the embolus is open for its length and from A. wrighti in the small retroventral flange on the cymbium and the simple tapering embolic tip. Females diifer from those of all other species in the less anteriorly narrowed anterior "neck" of the median epigynal scape and its overall narrowness. Etymology: In honour of Penelope Hacker, a much admired animal carer, and in whose backyard at Mt Glorious the species continues to thrive. Description (Holotype male QM S 51224) Caparace 2.93 long, 2.15 wide. Abdomen 2.70 long, 1.56 wide. Colour in alcohol. Pattern on carapace and abdomen faded. Legs. Tibia to tarsi of all legs with long recurved hairs for length on all faces. Spines: Tibiae I, II: 5 strong pairs ventrally plus pair of small on distal edge; metatarsi I, II with 3 strong pairs ventrally. Claws: paired claws dentate, not noticeably long. Palp. Distal cymbium with noticeably denser brush of hair; cymbium viewed retrolaterally with distinct basodorsal conical mound; retroventral flange small. Tibial apophysis subdistal with pair of dissimilar apices; ventral tibia-cymbial interlocking process small but distinct; median apophysis long, slender, apically folded, origin subcentral on tegulum, shorter in overall length than apically pointed embolus, median apophysis lies within longitudinal extent of embolus. Ventral groove in embolus a distinctly open groove for length. Leg measurements of Austrotengella hackerae, holotype male Description (Allotype female QM S 33212) Caparace 4.03 long, 3.13 wide. Abdomen 4.41 long, 2.54 wide. Colour. Pattern on abdomen faded but more evident than in male. Legs. Spines, tibiae and metatarsi I, II as in male. Paired claws noticeably elongate, especially on IV. Epigyne. An almost parallel-sided median plate, slightly widened at posterior third, at which point medially is a short recurved ridge over the posterior invagination from the otherwise distinct posterior margin; bases of short concial lateral teeth arise just posterior of the line of recurved ridge, teeth directed diagnoally posteriad and line of apices lies just posterior to line of posterior margin. Genital opening plugged for two-thirds its length from proximad by lamellate portion of male palp. Leg measurements of Austrotengella hackerae, allotype female Distribution and Habitat. This most widespread species occurs from Wrattens Camp in the north and as far south along the Conondale Ranges to Mt Tamborine, one range north of Lamington National Park. It occurs coastally in a retreating rainforest (Buhot) in south-eastern Brisbane west to the Great Dividing Range at Ravensbourne. All areas are rainforest or at least closed forest. Remarks: One female (QM S 19605) was taken in a Myrmecia nest.Published as part of Raven, Robert J, 2012, Revisions of Australian ground-hunting spiders. V.

Responses to Raven matrices: Governed by visual complexity and centrality
No full textRaven matrices are widely considered a pure test of cognitive abilities. Previous research has examined the extent to which cognitive strategies are predictive of the number of correct responses to Raven items. This study examined whether response times can be explained directly from the centrality and visual complexity of the matrix cells (edge density and perceived complexity). A total of 159 participants completed a 12-item version of the Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices. In addition to item number (an index of item difficulty), the findings demonstrated a positive correlation between the visual complexity of Raven items and both the mean response time and the number of fixations on the matrix (a strong correlate of response time). Moreover, more centrally placed cells as well as more complex cells received more fixations. It is concluded that response times on Raven matrices are impacted by low-level stimulus attributes, namely, visual complexity and eccentricity.Human-Robot InteractionMedical Instruments & Bio-Inspired Technolog
Eupograpta Raven, 2009, gen. nov.
No full textEupograpta gen. nov. Type species. Eupograpta kottae sp. nov. Diagnosis. Differs from all other diaprograptines in that females have a large median septum flanked by a pair of large domed unsclerotised areas (Figs 11 c, 12 a) and that males have a large spiralled RTA (Figs 10 d, e, 11 a). Etymology. An euphonious combination of letters based on its sister genus Diaprograpta; the gender is feminine. Description. As for Diaprograpta but females with large median septum flanked by large domed unsclerotised areas and males with a large spiralled RTA. Trichobothrial base collariform (Fig. 10 g). Included species. Eupograpta kottae sp. nov.; Eupograpta anhat sp. nov. Distribution and habitat (Fig. 25 a). Known from southwestern Western Australia and far western Queensland which include areas of bushland to very xeric habitats.Published as part of Raven, Robert J., 2009, Revisions of Australian ground-hunting spiders: IV.
