(after Framenau et al. 2006): male and female genitalia of H. crispipes are very similar to those of H. diyari and H. kuyani. However, all three species can be easily distinguished by their color pattern. Whereas the median band in H. crispipes is narrower than onefourth the carapace width, it is one-third the width of the carapace in H. diyari and absent in H. kuyani. Three dark blotches along the lateral carapace edges are also characteristic for H. crispipes.

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.
