Hadronyche is a genus of venomous Australian funnel-web spiders that was first described by L. Koch in 1873.[3] Originally placed with the curtain web spiders, it was moved to the Hexathelidae in 1980,[4] then to the Atracidae in 2018.[5]
While Australian funnel-web spider envenomation is medically significant, no human fatalities as a result have been recorded since the introduction of antivenom in 1980.[6]
