Oxyopes FP-266 might be the widespread O. molarius pending examination of further material and variation. The retrolateral cymbial process of the male pedipalp is long with a semicircular edge in ventral view and cut of squat in retrolateral view. The epigyne illustrated here is very similar to that of O. molarius as illustrated in Baehr et al. (2017; fig. 11C). It's similar to that of O. dingo, but the latter has a slimmer anterior T-piece.

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.
