Book excerpt: "This study provides a framework for future research on the taxonomy of Neosparassus by testing and confirming its monophyly with molecular data, revisiting and resolving the taxonomic status of several problematic historical species, and by describing the first new species of the genus since 1903. It also provides direction for future systematic research on Neosparassus and other groups of Australian Sparassidae, particularly to test the generic boundaries of Isopeda, Isopedella, and Holconia, and to reconsider the placement of Irileka and Keilira in the Heteropodinae."--from introduction.
