Arbanitis maculosus is a species of armoured trap-door spider in the family Idiopidae,[1] and is endemic to New South Wales.[2]

It was first described by William Joseph Rainbow and Robert Henry Pulleine in 1918 as Dyarcyops maculosus,[1][3] but was transferred to the genus, Misgolas, in 2006 by Wishart[1][4] and then in 2017 Michael Rix and others transferred it to the genus, Arbanitis.[1][5]
