Abstract
We describe five new species of mouse spiders, genus Missulena Walckenaer, 1805 (family Actinopodidae Simon, 1892), from national parks and / or conservation reserves in Western Australia, based on somatic and genitalic characteristics, and molecular data where these were available: Missulena durokoppin sp. nov., M. gelasinos sp. nov., M. ignea sp. nov., M. minima sp. nov., and M. terra sp. nov. Three of these species, M. ignea sp. nov., M. durokoppin sp. nov., and M. minima sp. nov have very limited known distributions, being known only from a single park or reserve.
