Fauna Portal Image No. 6447Diagnosis
The type specimen of Steatoda adumbrata as illustrated here is juvenile and therefore species identification is not possible until another mature type is discovered (potentially at the Natural History Museum Paris) or a mature specimen is collected from the type locality that can be match to this spider. The species may eventually have to be regarded a nomen dubium.

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.
