Fauna Portal Image No. 4990Diagnosis
(after Langlands & Framenau 2010): Hoggicosa wolodymyri can be distinguished from all other Hoggicosa by its small body size and orange-yellow colour. The male palp is most similar to that of H. bicolor, but can be distinguished by the tegular apophysis, which has a ridge between the ventral process and the tip much longer than that of H. bicolor. The female epigyne is similar in shape to H. bicolor but is smaller in size and females can be easily distinguished on body colour.

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.
