Fauna Portal Image No. 3295Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Scharff 2008): The shape of the male pedipalp, in particular the median apophysis with its hook-shaped process is unique within the Australian species of Larinia. The female epigyne is most similar to that of L. phthisica, but the posterior rim of the epigyne is narrower and reaches further anteriorly. If a scape is present, it is oval (not with straight lateral borders as in L. phthisica).

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.
