(after Framenau & Baehr 2007): Dingosa serrata is most similar to D. simsoni, but differs in the shape of the tegular apophysis of the male pedipalp which is keeled about halfway and has a broad tip (pointed tip curled ventrally in D. simsoni). The female epigyne is considerably longer than wide in contrast to all other species within Dingosa in which it is generally wider than long.

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.
