Fauna Portal Image No. 2067Diagnosis
(after Car et al. 2019) The gonopod of Antichiropus cirratus is most similar to A. pendiculus, each carrying a solenomere that is very long, slender and curled. Antichiropus cirratus has, however, a straight dagger-like main femoral process, while that of A. pendiculus is slender, curved and finger-like. The femur of A. cirratus broadens suddenly at its anterior end, while that of A. pendiculus widens gradually.
Antichiropus cirratus is currently listed as Priority 1 (P1) species ("poorly-known species - known from few locations, none on conservation lands") in Western Australia.

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.
