Fauna Portal Image No. 2168Diagnosis
(after Car et al. 2019) Antichiropus verutus is easily distinguished from all other Pilbara species as it has a combination of unique features: the prolongation of femorite is tiny, triangular, the second femoral process (fp1) is long and points away from the main femoral process, at right angles to acropodite and the solenomere is short and broad, with a flat, broadly pointed tip.

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.
