- Also known as the Australian Barking Spider and the Thick Foot Whistling Tarantula due to the sounds made when they stridulate.
- This Old World Burrower is from the east coast of Queensland, Australia.
- Adult size is 7.75" - 8.75".
- This is a fast growing tarantula.
- As adults, they will spend a lot of time outside of the burrow.
- A few years ago the Queensland Museum staff suggested there are no genuine Selenocosmia species in Australia, this genus being restricted to parts of Asia. Instead, Phlogius was proposed as the correct name but this suggestion has not been accepted as yet and in 2017 the World Spider Catalog lists no Australian Phlogius species although this was the name they were originally given more than a century ago.
