Re this edit: the best I could find at short notice is this source. It's well known that only the Sydney funnel-web spider poses a serious medical threat to humans. The Australian Museum says that there have been 13 recorded deaths from Sydney funnel-web bites. [1]-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 08:21, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
The news media often overestimates both of these risks. In March 2017, a report showed that Australians are more likely to die as a result of a kick or trampling from a horse than of spider and snake bites put together. [2] But it's just more fun to say "Australian spiders and snakes are deadly" rather than "Australian horses are deadly". The disputed sentence in the WP:LEAD puts this in some sort of perspective, but there is a certain amount of WP:SYNTH in it. In this particular group of spiders, only the Sydney funnel-web has very medically significant venom. Even then, no human has died from a Sydney funnel-web bite since an antivenom was developed in 1981.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 14:16, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Three families have been carved off from Hexathelidae: Atracidae, Macrothelidae and Porrhothelidae.
The article needs more checking and updating; now that Atrax is not in this family, its venomous nature isn't clear to me. Peter coxhead ( talk) 09:21, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Re this edit: It is explained with this diagram, but there are also venomous frogs. [3]-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 14:17, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
