Fauna Portal Image No. 1905Diagnosis
(after Judd & Perina 2013): The identification of the specimens from Barrow Island is based on that of Dalens (1993). The species is potentially widespread. Its principal diagnostic characters are: uropod exopodites long, extending beyond the uropod protopodite; flagellum of second antenna 3-segmented; noduli laterales present on pereonites; and epimera of pleonites 3–5 reduced. This species was collected from three sites in this study but is probably more widespread

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.
