Discoverer: J.M. Waldock (2008)

Fauna Portal species: 172
Family: Clubionidae



Diagnosis

This is a small species of Clubiona without dorsal abdominal dark pattern, although a female collected in South Australia had a indistinct dark dorsal line on the abdomen. Its genitalia are almost identical to those of the females from Barrow Island. On Barrow Island, the male of Clubiona FP-172 ist most similar to that of Clubiona FP-4304, but the retrolateral tibial apophysis of the male pedipalp of the latter is longer.

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.
