Dwarf-hood Orb-weaver Hortophora cucullus Framenau & Castanheira, 2021

Fauna Portal species: 168

Order: Araneae (Spiders)

Family: Araneidae

Diagnosis

(after Framenau et al. 2021): Hortophora cucullus can be identified from all other Hortophora species by the lateral lobes on the abdomen of both males and females, which are absent in all other species of the genus. In addition, males (and less so females) differ by the dorsally drawn up abdomen. The male pedipalp H. cucullus has two macrosetae on the patella, one being smaller, but there is only one in all other Hortophora species.

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.
