    Hmm.. the abdominal patterns seem variable for either H giganticus or H diardi.
    Might be tricky to get further without a real salty expert.
    One common name seems to be 'Heavy jumping spider'? That looks somewhat appropriate.     Posted 9 years ago

    Mark - I have just spent another several hours on the ID trail. I am now convinced that this is diardi. Reliable source images for giganteus are rare, but I did find an entomological sketch and matching image, and it is very different to diardi; bald carapace, abdomen longitudinal thin stripe with lateral stripes.

    I don't have a giganteus in my collection, but an article, with links, needs to be written on the differences.

    I was also surprised to discover, there are no Hyllus in Australia, a mistake made by all the reliable sources!
