(after Framenau & Hudson 2017): Tetralycosa baudinettei is most similar to T. alteripa. Males can be distinguished by the shape of the embolus that is fairly strong and straight in T. alteripa and much slimmer with a curved tip in T. baudinettei. The shape of the epigyne distinguishes females; it is rectangular in T. alteripa, whereas in T. baudinettei only the posterior rim is visible in ventral view.

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.
