Lampona cylindrata (or Lampona murina)
(Spider #15) This brown spider with long cigar shaped abdomen comes complete with ashen white tip on the end. This was tiny and certainly a young specimen
Often found in homes. Always on the floor, they are not inclined to climb. They are a significant predator on other spiders in your home.
They are attributed with nasty recurring stings including necrosis but much of the evidence is circumstantial and questionable.
Lat: -37.80, Long: 145.28

It's a pity these seem to like dry warm tight places... like in houses where you store your clothes or bedding.
