Graham's Demadiana Demadiana milledgei Framenau, Scharff & Harvey, 2010

Fauna Portal species: 6802
Family: Arkyidae



Diagnosis

(after Framenau et al. 2010): Demadiana milledgei shares with those of D. carrai the straight anterior margin of the carapace and the pronounced tubercles that accommodate the lateral eyes. However, D. milledgei and D. carrai males differ in the shape of the median apophysis in males which is much shorter and less pointed in D. milledgei. The female of D. carrai is not known.

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.
