Southern Forsterina Forsterina cryphoeciformis (Simon, 1908)
Fauna Portal species: 7031
Forsterina cryphoeciformis male, pedipalp ventral (MNHP; Kalgoorlie or Guildford, Western Australia)
Image: Lehtinen (1967; fig. 110)
Fauna Portal Image No. 4453Diagnosis
The male pedipalp of Forsterina cryphoeciformis as illustrated by Lehtinen (1967) is characteristic.
Lehtinen (167) reviewed the species that Simon (1908) described from a male and female from widely separated locations (Kalgoorlie and Guildford, Western Australia). Neither author clarified which sex was found at which location. It is likely, these represent different species.

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.
