Extra Distribution Information
Type locality of the objective synonym recorded as South America, but Simon, E. 1892. Histoire Naturelle des Araignées. Paris : Roret Vol. 2 [81] suggested that this was an error and that the specimen came from Australia, locality unknown; description of specimen suggests similarity with Missulena pruinosa Levitt-Gregg; because of uncertainty, absence of definite type locality and loss of type of nigripes recommend retention of name pruinosa for readily identifiable specimens; M. nigripes is thus not a recognisable species.
