Steatoda FP-14229 is very similar to Steatoda FP-6157 but the male pedipalp differs by the larger embolus coil. There is no apophysis at the base of the embolus and the pronounced lobe on the median apophysis is round. In addition, the pale sections basally on the femora are comparatively shorter.

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.
