Diagnosis

Lampona FP-7609 does not match any species revised in Platnick (2000). It is probably most similar to L. ruida or L. hirsti, but differs distinctly in details of male (i.e. length and shape of retrolateral tibial apophysis) and female genitalia (shape of atrium and spermathecae).

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.
