Fauna Portal Image No. 3714Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Baehr 2018): Artoria albopilata is most similar to A. gloriosa, a species endemic to Lord Howe Island. Males differ in the shape of the tegular apophysis, which ends in three lobes in A. albopilata and two tips in A. gloriosa. The tip of the embolus is sharp in A. albopilata, but broad and blunt in A. gloriosa. Females differ in the shape of the epigyne, in particular the anterior border, which is semicircular in A. albopilata, but undulating in A. gloriosa. The median septum fills the atrium in A. albopilata, but is truncated anteriorly in A. gloriosa.

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.
