The spider genus Holoplatys Simon is revised. Its relationships, origin and distribution are discussed. Six species groups based on genitalia and body structure are distinguished and key for their identification in proposed.

A total of 37 species are described and figured, including 31 new species: bicoloroides, borali, braemarensis, bramptonensis, canberra, chudalupensis, colemani, complanatiformis, daviesae, dejongi, desertina, embolica, grassalis, jardinensis, julimarina, kalgoorlie, kempensis, lhotskyi, mascordi, meda, minuta, oakensis, panthera, pedder, pemberton, rainbowi, queenslandica, semiplanata, strzeleckii, tasmanensis and windjanensis.
