Fauna Portal Image No. 2882Diagnosis
The inclusion of Anepsion rhomboides in the Australian Fauna Portal is based on Butler's (1876) listing from Queensland, which is somewhat dubious. The species was originally described from Samoa. It is a distinct species in the genus due to its rhomboid abdomen.

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.
