Unknown spider
Araneae gen. indet.
FP-6276
Discoverer: V.W. Framenau
Fauna Portal species: 6276Diagnosis
This male was found in the Great Victoria Desert in Western Australia. It somewhat resembles a mixture of a gnaphosoid (with silvery median posterior eyes) and clubionids (including the pedipalps). But it really doesn't match either group.

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.
