Fauna Portal Image No. 14619Diagnosis
Females of Artoria abscondita are similar to A. booderee Framenau & Baehr, 2018 due to their epigyne bearing large and robust lateral lobes and a narrow median septum. However, the epigyne of A. abscondita differs from that of A. booderee by having the lateral lobes almost touching each other, being more robust and broad and with its posterior half projected mesally covering most of the posterior half of the median septum and by bearing a short atrium with anterior margin poorly delimited. In A. booderee the lateral lobes are not projected mesally and the anterior margin of the atrium is well-delimited
