Moruga thorsborneorum is a species of mygalomorph spider in the Barychelidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1994 by Australian arachnologist Robert Raven. The specific epithet thorsborneorum honours Australian conservationists Arthur and Margaret Thorsborne, whose activism contributed to the establishment of many nature reserves in northern Queensland.[1][2]
