Arkys FP-11617 could not be identified as one of the described species, although some of the original descriptions make identification difficult. It is here listed with a Fauna Portal morphocode until it's identity can be ascertained. It is somewhat similar to Arkys alticephala, but it's abdominal colouration is much more fine-grained.

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.
