Troglodiplura samankunani is a species of troglomorphic spider in the family Anamidae, found in Western Australia,[1][2] in caves on the Nullarbor Plain.[3]
It was first described in 2020 by Mark Harvey and Michael Rix.[2][3] The species epithet honours Saman Kunan[3] (a Thai diver, who died[4] during the Tham Luang cave rescue of 2018).
