Fauna Portal Image No. 4304Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Douglas 2021): Artoria lacustris is most similar to A. melissae, however, the male genital morphology is distinctly different, specifically the tegular apophysis, which is straight with a ventral edge in A. melissae but sinuous in A. lacustris. Details of the apical part of the bulb are also greatly different, i.e. the embolus is much stronger in the new species and the terminal apophysis much more heavily sclerotised. The female of A. lacustris is not known.

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.
