Fauna Portal Image No. 2781Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Scharff 2008): Larinia montagui is most similar to L. jamberoo. Males differ in the shape of the median apophysis, which lacks the keel-shaped process present in L. jamberoo. Females differ in the shape of the median septum of the epigyne that is wider posteriorly than anteriorly (vice versa in L. jamberoo).

Fauna Portal Records
The map shows all records that have been verified as part of the Fauna Portal project and may not represent the true distribution of a species. Specifically, for described species, check the link to the Atlas of Living Australia on this page for potential wider distributions. Fauna Portal Reference specimens and Linnean types are shown in red. If you identified a specimen that exceeds the distribution of an undescribed species as illustrated here, please contact the Fauna Portal team who can assist with the lodgement of the specimen in a public institution and display on the map.
