Yundamindra White-tailed Spider Asadipus yundamindra Platnick, 2000

Fauna Portal species: 216
Family: Lamponidae



Diagnosis

(after Platnick 2000): The male of the distinctive Asadipus yundamindra can easily be recognized by the long retrolateral tibial apophysis and the extremely long embolus, which originates on the retrolateral side of the palpal bulb; the female here associated with that male is from a different area, but has extremely long and narrow epigynal ducts that may be correlated with the male embolus length.
