Somatically, this species is very close to Cryptachaea FP-6385 and C. blattea. However, the epigyne morphology is different to both species has the atrium opening much more anterior than in the latter two species. Likewise, the male pedipalp morphology is similar to those two species (images coming soon!).

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.
