Stuart Range Crevice Weaver Wandella stuartensis Gray, 1994
Fauna Portal species: 7089Diagnosis
(after Gray 1994): Legs long in male, tibia 1 twice as long as carapace. Male palp similar to W. murrayensis, but tibia shorter. Abdomen with strongly banded dorsal pattern. Females (after Magalhães 2016) can be distinguished by the combination of the following: the enlarged, usually longer than wide, bases of the spermathecae; the lack of a clear distinction between the base and the inner spermathecae; and the rounded outer spermathecae, on the top of a short, laterally directed stalk.

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.
