Just going through some old Mygalomorph records. I might even suggest this is Paraembolides brindabella, but I'm not confident enough.

This spider is definitely Hexathelidae, and I'm pretty sure its either a Bymainiella sp or a Paraembolides sp. possibly Paraembolides brindabella, bit I am still running up against a lack of info on these two genus and haven't found anyone yet with enough knowledge of these spiders.

Confirmation that this one is Paraembolides, but still no one is willing to go to species. I think you'd probably need the individual present to do so.
