Eastern Green Orb-weaver Araneus psittacinus (Keyserling, 1887)
Fauna Portal species: 6601Diagnosis
Genus 3313 psittacinus is currently misplaced in Araneus. This species was re-described in Dondale (1966) and has an elongated basal lobe of the denticled terminal apophysis in the male pedipalp, similar to Genus 3313 eburneiventris and FP-153. All may turn out to be the same, somewhat variable species pending a revision of this new genus, although the epigyne as illustrated in Dondale (1966) is fairly different to the one the two species mentioned above.

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.
