Georgina's Pilbara Antichiropus Antichiropus georginae Car, 2019

Fauna Portal species: 11175



Diagnosis

(after Car et al. 2019) The gonopod of male A. georginae is very similar in appearance to that of A. uvulus: that of A. georginae has, however, a small pointed process at the base of the main femoral process (dorsal view) lacking in A. uvulus. The main femoral process is nearly half the length of the solenomere on the A. georginae gonopod but only 1/3 of solenomere length in A. uvulus.

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.
