Neoscona FP-14206 is a distinct, small species in the genus with the abdominal colouration similar to N. theisi and Neoscona FP-14205. However, the pedipalp morphology is very different as the median apophysis has a ventrally directed spur, not apically directed as in the other two species. The female is currently unknown.

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.
