Habronestes

''Habronestes'' is a genus of ant spiders, known for their combination of myrmecomorphy and myrmecophagy. It contains 50 species, all found only in Australia. It was first described by Ludwig Koch in 1872, and has since been revised by Barbara Baehr in 2003.

Spiders in this genus are 2.5 to 10.5 mm long, with an orange or sepia brown body and yellow or pale brown legs. True to their name, they are often found associated with ants.

''H. boq'' is the first spider named after a sponsor (the Bank of Queensland) in a new program by the Queensland Museum.Cosmos Online
