Gnaphosidae gen. indet. FP-12188 is difficult to characterise, as the pedipalp is expanded and very difficult to see. The short, tooth-shaped retrolateral tibial apophysis of the male pedipalp, however, does not match any other gnaphosid on Barrow Island and therefore this species is here listed separately.

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.
