Fauna Portal Image No. 4765Diagnosis
(after Framenau 2015): Venator marginatus was included in the genus when it was originally established (Hogg 1900); however, somatic and genital morphology do not allow a placement in the genus as reviewed by Framenau (2015). It is therefore considered incerta sedis espacially as the male remains unknown.

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.
