Fauna Portal Image No. 1699Diagnosis
(after Platnick 2002): Males closely resemble those of F. arcoona but have a much larger conductor tip. Females are unknown; the evident close relationship with F. arcoona makes it unlikely that this could be the male of F. ethabuka or F. barrow.

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.
