(after Framenau & Hudson 2017): Males of T. eyrei can be distinguished from other species in Tetralycosa, especially the similar T. adarca, T. halophila and T. williamsi, by the shape of the tegular apophysis, in particular its broadly truncated tip. Females in this group cannot be separated with certainty.

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.
