Tartarus is a genus of spiders. All four described species are found in caves systems of Western Australia. These are located in the karst area of the Nullarbor Plain. They are likely relict species from a time when the region was much more humid given the fact that the other members of the family Stiphidiidae in Southern Australia live in forests.
