description White-tailed Spider (Lampona cylindrata) Overview

The white-tailed spider, Lampona cylindrata, is a ground-hunting Australian spider in the family Lamponidae. It has a dark, cylindrical body with a pale spot at the end of the abdomen and hunts other spiders at night, often moving through gardens, buildings, leaf litter, and sheltered spaces. A prospective study of 130 confirmed bites found no cases of necrotic ulcers, challenging the older association between this spider and skin necrosis.
