Fauna Portal Image No. 4423Diagnosis
(after Framenau & Baehr 2016): Males of Tasmanicosafulgor resemble those of T. kochorum in having similar tegular ridge; however, it is about as wide as the tegular apophysis, but considerably shorter in T. kochorum. The female epigyne most closely resembles those of T. gilberta and T. leuckartii and appears to represent an intermediate form. However, T. fulgor females differ from T. leuckartii in the absence of a light median patch on the venter and from T. gilberta in the wider median septum in its anterior region, which has a narrow and sharp ridge in T. gilberta, but not so in T. fulgor.
