Storr's Hoggicosa Hoggicosa storri (McKay, 1973)
Fauna Portal species: 6349
Diagnosis
(after Langlands & Framenau 2010): Females and immature males of Hoggicosa storri can be readily distinguished from all other Hoggicosa species by the distinct leg coloration and abdominal pattern. This pattern consists of light femora, tarsi, and metatarsi, with black patellae and tibiae, with a pale stripe along either side of the abdomen from the spinnerets. The male pedipalp is most similar to that of H. brennani, but can be distinguished by the shape of the ventral process on the tegular apophysis. In H. storri the ventral process lacks the flange found in H. brennani and is located closer to the apical tip.

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.
