The Other Minasteron Minasteron tangens Baehr & Jocqué, 2000
Fauna Portal species: 9758
Diagnosis
(after Baehr & Jocqué, 2000): This species is closely related to M. perfoliatum and M. minusculum. The main difference is that the question-mark-shaped sperm-duct in the tegulum encloses an area which is smaller than in both the other species; the tips of the indented lower prong of the tibial apophysis are less different in length.

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.
