Fauna Portal Image No. 4972Diagnosis
(after Langlands & Framenau 2010): Males and females of Hoggicosa snelli can be easily distinguished from all other Hoggicosa by the presence of a black line posterior to the epigastric furrow on the ventral opisthosoma. The male pedipalp is most similar to that of H. bicolor but can be distinguished by the ventral process of the tegular apophysis, which is much larger and connected to the anterior edge.

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.
