Fauna Portal Image No. 2767Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Baehr 2018): The male of A. taeniifera is most similar to that of A. belfordensis based on the structure of the basoembolic apophysis, which is basally drawn out into a tip or sharp edge and apically truncated. However, these species differ in the shape of the tegular apophysis, which is two-pronged in A. taeniifera and three lobed in A. belfordensis. The epigyne of female A. taeniifera is distinctive within Artoria, with its atrium semicircular along its anterior border and strongly sclerotised posterior edges that point medially.

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.
