Diagnosis

Emertonella FP-12520 differs by its marmorated colour pattern on the abdomen from all other species of the genus on the Fauna Portal. The epigyne of the female is most similar to that of Emertonella FP-12521 but the latter species has a much darker abdomen. The male of Emertonella FP-12520 is currently 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.
