Fauna Portal Image No. 9203Diagnosis
Both male and female of this species are poorly preserved but still fairly distinct. Females have a drawn out, pointy abdomen, unique amongst the species on the Fauna Portal. The conductor of the male pedipalp is apically serrated, similar to that of Emertonella FP-6188, but the colouration of this species is much different.

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.
