(after Framenau & Baehr 2016): The males of Tasmanicosa hughjackmani differ from all other species in the genus by the strongly S-shaped ridge of the tegular apophysis that forms a deep notch in the tegular apophysis. Female genitalia most closely resemble those of T. godeffroyi, but the medium septum is apically much wider (i.e. wider than the posterior transverse part) than in that species, in which the anterior part of the medium septum is as wide as the posterior transverse part.

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.
