Barrow Island Bathplug Spider Conothele FP-4309 (WAM MYG297)
Discoverer: J.M. Waldock (2008)

Fauna Portal species: 4309

Order: Araneae (Spiders)

Family: Halonoproctidae

Diagnosis

Conothele FP-4309 is very similar to the second species of the genus on the Fauna Portal, Conothele FP-380. The embolus of the latter seems to be. more curved, particularly in prolateral view. However, both species are best distinguished by molecular methods (COI barcoding).

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.
