Source-derived summary

Aname mainae is a species of mygalomorph spider in the Anamidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2000 by Australian arachnologist Robert Raven.

Distribution and habitat

The species occurs in South Australia. The type locality is Elliston, on the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Aname mainae” as species of arachnid. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Aname, mainae and species.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2000—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Aname, mainae and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Aname mainae”, the useful work is to connect “species of arachnid” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1950217. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2000.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
