Fauna Portal Image No. 4171Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Baehr 2018): The pedipalp morphology in males of Artora wilkiei is most similar to that of A. barringtonensis and A. bondi based on the small, spoon-shaped tegular apophysis. However, A. wilkiei is the only species amongst these in which the tegular apophysis has a small tooth pointing ventrally, visible in retrolateral view. The female epigyne of A. wilkiei. is similar to that of A. mungo, but the spermathecal heads are much larger and touch medially.

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.
