Rossi's Termite Hunter Austrammo rossi Platnick, 2002
Fauna Portal species: 2726
Diagnosis
(after Platnick 2002): The single known male and female of A. rossi are from widely separated localities, but are tentatively matched here in accordance with the null hypothesis strategy outlined by Platnick (2000). Males can easily be distinguished from congenerics by their very short retrolateral tibial apophysis, females by having the lateral epigynal margins connected to the anterior epigynal hood.

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.
