Cataxia maculata is a species of mygalomorph spider in the Idiopidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1914 by Australian arachnologist William Joseph Rainbow.[1]
The species occurs in eastern Queensland, in the Eidsvold–Proserpine region, in brigalow and vine thicket open forest habitats. The type locality is the upper Burnett River.[1]
The spiders are fossorial, terrestrial predators which construct burrows with wafer-like trapdoors.[1]
