Fauna Portal Image No. 6136

Diagnosis

Based on genital morphology, Asadipus FP-7615 is most similar to A. yundamindra as illustrated in Platnick (2000), however it differs in details of both the male pedipalp (i.e. the longer, less conspicuous conductor) and female epigyne (fertilisation ducts much less distinct). However, it may turn out that this species represents a variation of A. yundamindra pending the examination of a larger number of specimens.

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.
