(after Framenau & Hudson 2017): The wide and light marginal bands of the of T. wundurra are similar to those of T. oraria, however, both species differ in their genital morphology. The embolus of the male pedipalp in T. wundurra is very broad narrowing abruptly at more than three quarters length into a slim tip, whereas it is of similar width along its whole length and twisted apically in T. oraria. The median septum of the epigyne of T. oraria has a distinct bridge with parallel borders, which is not present in T. wundurra.

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.
