The wolf spider (Lycosidae Sundevall, 1833) genus Artoria Thorell, 1877 is revised for New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, Australia, to include 34 species, 21 of which are new to science: A.albopilata (Urquhart, 1893), A.alta Framenau 2004, A.beaury sp. n. , A.barringtonensis sp. n. , A.belfordensis sp. n. , A.berenice (L. Koch, 1877), A.bondi sp. n. , A.booderee sp. n. , A.comleroi sp. n. , A.corowa sp. n. , A.equipalus sp. n. , A.extraordinaria sp. n. , A.flavimana Simon, 1909, A.gloriosa (Rainbow, 1920), A.grahammilledgei sp. n. , A.helensmithae sp. n. , A.howquaensis Framenau, 2002, A.kanangra sp. n. , A.kerewong sp. n. , A.lineata (L. Koch, 1877), A.maroota sp. n. , A.mckayi Framenau, 2002, A.mungo sp. n. , A.munmorah sp. n. , A.myallensis sp. n. , A.quadrata Framenau, 2002, A.slatyeri sp. n. , A.strepera sp. n. , A.taeniifera Simon, 1909, A.terania sp. n. , A.triangularis Framenau, 2002, A.ulrichi Framenau, 2002, A.victoriensis Framenau, Gotch & Austin, 2006, and A.wilkiei sp. n. Lycosapruinosa L. Koch, 1877, currently listed in Artoria , is considered a nomen dubium. Artoria are largely forest dwellers, although some species have preferences for more open areas such as riparian or coastal environments or grasslands. Consequently, the genus mainly occurs east and west along the Great Dividing Range, although some species can be found into the Riverina, Cobar Peneplain and Darling Riverine Plains IBRA regions to the west.
