Diagnosis

Within the spider fauna of Barrow Island, where this species was initially discovered, Habronestes FP-362 is unique by it's orange-red carapace and leg colouration and the white pattern of lines on the abdomen. The species is very similar to H. bradleyi, but differes in details of its genitalia, for example the tip of the lateral tegular apophysis (LTA) of the male pedipalp is less hooked.

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.
