Baiami is a genus of Australian intertidal spiders that was first described by Pekka T. Lehtinen in 1967.[2] Originally placed with the Stiphidiidae, it was transferred to the Desidae after the results of a 2019 genetic analysis.[3]

Species

As of September 2019^[update] it contains nine species, found in South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia:[1]

• Baiami brockmani Gray, 1981 – Australia (Western Australia)
• Baiami glenelgi Gray, 1981 – Australia (Victoria)
• Baiami loftyensis Gray, 1981 – Australia (South Australia)
• Baiami montana Gray, 1981 – Australia (Western Australia)
• Baiami stirlingi Gray, 1981 – Australia (Western Australia)
• Baiami storeniformis (Simon, 1908) – Australia (Western Australia)
• Baiami tegenarioides (Simon, 1908) – Australia (Western Australia)
• Baiami torbayensis Gray, 1981 – Australia (Western Australia)
• Baiami volucripes (Simon, 1908) (type) – Australia (Western Australia)

B. longipes and B. magnus were transferred to Canala, and B. mullamullangensis was transferred to Tartarus.[4]
