Fauna Portal Image No. 4180Diagnosis
(after Framenau 2008): Males of Artoria linnaei differ from all other species in Artoria by a unique ventral protrusion of the tegulum and the distinct, asymmetrically T-shaped tegular apophysis. The female genitalia are unique among species of Artoria, since the epigyne has a scape-like process anteriorly in combination with an inverted T-shaped median septum.

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.
