Simson's Palisade Wolf Spider Dingosa simsoni (Simon, 1898)
Fauna Portal species: 7700
Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Baehr 2007): Dingosa simsoni is closely related to D. serrata, but differs in the curled tip of the tegular apophysis of the male pedipalp (keeled in D. serrata). The epigyne of D. simsoni is much shorter than that of D. serrata and has a distinct and continuous anterior margin whereas the anterior pockets are separated in D. serrata.

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.
