There are numerous species of this type in the drier regions of Western Australia, predominantly in the Pilbara region. All are likely to have restricted distributions. Species in this group can only be diagnosed by molecular data (COI barcoding), but Buddelundiinae gen. indet. FP-11801 has not been sequenced and identification is based on close proximity of its two locations.

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.
