(after Prado, Baptista & Framenau, 2026): Females of A. limitata resemble those of A. extraordinaria due to their poorly defined epigyne. However, the epigyne in A. limitata differs being a large elliptical plate with a concave posterior margin, a very small atrium restricted to the posterior fifth of the epigyne, and inconspicuous median septum and lateral lobe. The spermathecae are one and a half their diameter apart, with spermathecal stalks attached posteriorly. In contrast, the epigyne of A. extraordinaria has a convex posterior margin, the lateral lobes are translucent, broad and rounded, and the spermathecae are less than one diameter apart with spermathecal stalks attached ventrally.

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.
