Fauna Portal Image No. 4139Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Baehr 2018): Males of A. munmorah share with A. booderee , A. corowa and A. equipalus a distinctly bi-lobed tegular apophysis (see also diagnosis for these species). They differ from A. booderee by the less elongate cymbium, from A. corowa by the tegular apophysis reaching past the cymbium edge in ventral view and from A. equipalus by the basal lobe of the tegular apophysis being less sclerotised. Females of A. munmorah have a poorly sclerotised epigyne most similar to that of A. equipalus and A. mungo, but differ distinctly in the shape of the spermathecal heads, specifically in the postero-lateral attachment of the spermathecal ducts (lateral in A. mungo and postero-medial in A. equipalus).

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.
