Rosamygale is a genus of extinct Triassic spiders, with a single described species, Rosamygale grauvogeli.[1] It is the oldest known member of the Mygalomorphae, one of the three main divisions of spiders, which includes well known forms such as tarantulas and Australian funnel-web spiders.[2] It was described by Selden and Gall in 1992, from specimens found in the Middle Triassic (Anisian ~ 247-242 million years ago) aged Gres a Meules and Grès à Voltzia geological formations in France.[1][3] It is also considered to be the oldest known member of the Avicularioidea, one of the two main divisions of Mygalomorphae.[4]
