Taxonomy
The species' specific name is a patronym to honour Prof. Victor Hickman for his contributions to arachnology.[2]
Distribution and habitat
The spider is known to inhabit only temperate Nothofagus rainforest habitats in the Victorian Central Highlands, in leaf litter.[2]
Conservation
The species has a limited distribution, however, the abundance of protected habitat around its known range means that it probably does not require immediate conservation efforts.[2]
