Male pedipalp morphology of Cryptachaea FP-14254 is most similar to that of Cryptachaea FP-13392 but both species differ distinctly in abdomen shape and colouration. The female epigyne resembles that of Cryptachaea FP-6385 most, but again, abdomen shape and colouration are very different to that species.

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.
