Lampona FP-7613 is very similiar to L. quinqueplagiata as illustrated in Platnick (2000), specifically with respect to the female epigyne. However, male genitalia are very different, in particular the retrolateral tibial apophysis is narrower and longer and the embolus is basally kinked (but not so in L. quinqueplagiata).

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.
