Tartarus is a genus of spiders in the family Stiphidiidae.[1] All four described species are found in cave systems of Western Australia.[2] These are located in the karst area of the Nullarbor Plain. They are likely relict species from a time when the region was much more humid, given the fact that the other members of the family Stiphidiidae in Southern Australia live in forests.
