Female Cliomantis FP-14670 are somewhat larger than Cliomantis FP-14668, the only other species currently on the Fauna Portal, and have small, black dorsal tubercles on each tergite.
This might be the female of C. obscura Hinton, 1939, which was described from Merredin, ca. 180 km to the north of the known locality of Cliomantis FP-14670 pending a revision of the genus in Australia.

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.
