Fauna Portal Image No. 4653Diagnosis
(after Framenau 2010): Kangarosa nothofagus is morphologically similar to K. tasmaniensis. Males differ in particular in the shape of the tegular apophysis that has a distinct retrolateral central protrusion, which is absent in K. tasmaniensis. In addition, the terminal apophysis is broad in K. nothofagus but slim and pointy in K. tasmaniensis. The epigyne of K. nothofagus is unique as it is broadest anteriorly with waved lateral edges.

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.
