Fauna Portal Image No. 6421

Diagnosis

I appears that all syntypes collected at the single type locality in North Fremantle are juveniles, similar to those from the Natural History Museum illustrated here.

If mature specimens of this species cannot be re-collected from the type locality, this species should best be considered a nomen dubium.

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.
