Holoplatys FP-11671 is very similar to H. grassalis as described in Żabka (1991), but males differs in some details, such as a much stronger femur of the first leg and some details of the pedipalp. However, examination of further specimens may show this to be variation of the same species.

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.
