'''''Aname''''' is a [[genus]] of [[Mygalomorphae|mygalomorph]] spiders. It is [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] to [[Australia]]. The spiders, as well as some in closely related genera, are also known as '''wishbone spiders'''.
==Diagnosis==
''Aname'' species may be distinguished from other genera in the family by the presence of a prominent asetose ventral depression on the male [[pedipalp]]al [[tibia]].<ref name="h&h2020">{{cite journal|last1=Harvey|first1=MS|last2=Gruber|first2=K|last3=Hillyer|first3=MJ|last4=Huey|first4=JA|last5= |first5= |title=Five new species of the open-holed trapdoor spider genus Aname (Araneae: Mygalomorphae: Anamidae) from Western Australia, with a revised generic placement for Aname armigera|journal=Records of the Western Australian Museum|date=2020|volume=35|issue=|pages=10–38 |doi=10.1636/0161-8202-48.2.169|doi-access= }}</ref>
==Distribution and habitat==
While ''Aname'' prefers dry open country and occurs throughout much of [[Australia]] (though mostly inland), ''[[Chenistonia]]'' occurs mostly in [[South Australia|South]] and [[Western Australia]], and ''[[Namea]]'' is only known along the east coast in [[rainforest]]s.
The lesser wishbone spider (''[[Aname distincta]]'') occurs through the lowland open forests of south-east [[Queensland]]'s Moreton Valley as far north as [[Eidsvold, Queensland|Eidsvold]] and [[Gayndah, Queensland|Gayndah]], and the greater wishbone spider (''[[Aname pallida]]'') from Gladstone along dry coastal corridors to [[Cairns]]. One species (''[[Aname tasmanica]]'') is found only in [[Tasmania]].

==Behaviour==
Spiders in this genus, together with the very similar genera ''[[Chenistonia]]'' and ''[[Namea]]'', are called "[[Furcula|wishbone]] spiders", for the shape of their open [[spider silk|silk]]-lined burrow, which has the shape of the letter "Y", with one arm shorter than the other. Only the longer arm reaches the surface. The shorter arm is believed to allow the spider to survive flooding by trapping an air bubble.
===Interactions with humans===
Bites from ''Aname'' are rare, but females of ''[[Aname inimica]]'' (which are also considered "unfriendly" by [[Aboriginal Australians]]) are reported to have bitten several people, resulting in local pain, redness and soreness.
