Lamponina FP-6710 could so far not be keyed out to a described species using Platnick's (2000) key. On Barrow Island it is characterised by the broad pale marking on the abdomen which is much different to the other two species on the island, L. elongata and L. scutata. This differences are also backed up by molecular data. The male of this species is unknown.
