Diagnosis

Gnaphosidae gen. indet. FP-12188  is difficult to characterise, as the pedipalp is expanded and very difficult to see. The short, tooth-shaped retrolateral tibial apophysis of the male pedipalp, however, does not match any other gnaphosid on Barrow Island and therefore this species is here listed separately.

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.
