Diagnosis

This female caddis fly in the genus Oecetis cannot be identified at the species level, as most species in the genus and family are described based on males (R. Marchant, pers. comm. to V.W. Framenau, 2021). It has been given an FP-species number pending the discovery of a male on Barrow Island.

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.
