Good sighting! It's in the Mygalomorphae group (trapdoor and funnelweb spiders), but I'm unable to take it any further.

This looks like pictures of Bymainiella sp I see on the internet, google images will show you same or similar species. ALA shows some sightings to the east of the ACT, but I cant find any records of Bymainiella in the ACT.
Apparently there are records of a related species, Paraembolides brindabella, but I cant find a photo or helpful description of this species. Not surprisingly it is reported in the Brindabellas, and as this sighting was found at Tidbinbilla theres a chance this could be it? Anyone with Mygalomorph experience?

This one is also Paraemboloides. I'm having trouble getting Paraemboloides sp. to stick as a new species, but once I do I'll confirm this one too!
I wouldn't overly trust ALA for distribution records, but there's not much else to go on for Bymainiella sp. especially.
