Diagnosis

This species of Pungalina is currently only known from Barrow Island. Here, it differs from the other two species found there, Pungalina FP-7618 and Pungalina FP-11618, somatically and by genitalia. It is much smaller and of lighter colouration than Pungalina FP-11618. The male pedipalp differs by the ventrally bulging tegulum in males and by the large oval atrium in females from Pungalina FP-7618.

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.
