Researchers have officially described a new "rare and giant" species of trapdoor spider only found in central Queensland's Brigalow Belt.
"The females, which are the larger trapdoor spiders of the two sexes, they're almost five centimeters in body length," arachnologist Michael Rix said.
While the Queensland Museum's Project DIG team's discovery is an exciting one, Dr Rix says the species is endangered.
"It's rare and possibly quite threatened," he said.
