FP-6276

Araneae gen. indet. FP-6276 male, dorsal (HBI 17811-1; Great Victoria Desert, Western Australia)

Fauna Portal Image No. 3674

Diagnosis

This male was found in the Great Victoria Desert in Western Australia. It somewhat resembles a mixture of a gnaphosoid (with silvery median posterior eyes) and clubionids (including the pedipalps). But it really doesn't match either group.

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.
