Migas distinctus is a species of mygalomorph spider endemic to New Zealand.[1]
This species was described in 1880 by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge from a single immature female specimen collected in Dunedin.[2] It was mostly revised in 1968 by Ray Forster. The lectotype is stored in Oxford University Museum of Natural History.[1]
