Austrarchaea clyneae is a species of spider in the family Archaeidae. It is endemic to Australia.[1] The etymology behind the species name comes from Australian naturalist and photographer Densey Clyne, who served as a great inspiration in the early life of Mark Stephen Harvey, who was responsible for finding and naming the species.[2]
Its known habitat consists of the Australian rainforests of North-Eastern New South Wales in National Parks such as Mount Clunie National Park and Tooloom National Park.[2]
