On Barrow Island, Alleloplasis FP-930 distinctly differs in the shape of the head, particularly the pointy frons and concave vertex, which are rounded and rather concave in Alleloplasis FP-3251. The headshape is similar to that fo Alleloplasis FP-13643, but that species is much lighter with a red tinge dorsally on the posterior abdomen.

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.
