Diagnosis

(after Judd & Perina 2013): Olibrinus FP-7806 it was circumscribed (but not fomally described) by Dalens (1993) as first olibrinid record of Australia. His identification was based on a single female and further studies are needed to confirm the status of this taxon. Its principal diagnostic characters are: habitus elongated; uropod exopodites long, extending beyond the uropod protopodite; long multi-articulate flagellum with more than 5 segments; and eye consisting of 5 ommatidia.

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.
