Fauna Portal Image No. 4352Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Baehr 2007): Dingosa murata is most similar to D. humphreysi. Males differ in the shape of the apical tip of the tegular apophysis, which is curved ventrally in D. humphreysi and more or less straight in D. murata. Females of both species are distinguished by the shape of the lateral tips of the inverted T-shaped median septum, which are truncated in D. murata, but reach under the anterior pockets of the epigyne in D. humphreysi.

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.
