Fauna Portal species: 11349
Diagnosis
Synothele FP-11349 belongs to a group of Pilbara species in which males of a finger-like apico-prolateral spur on the tibia of leg I. It differs from the other recognised species by the combination of a uniformly dark carapace pattern and a long keel on the pedipalp bulb. Very few specimens are currently known in the group and differences here considered species-specific may turn out to be intra-specific variation and all belong to the same species.
