(after Harvey et al. 2016): Feaella tealei differs from the other species of the Feaella anderseni-group as follows: from F. anderseni by the lack of a rallum; from F. callani by its larger size (e.g. chela (with pedicel) length 0.665 mm (male) and 0.62 mm (female) mm compared with 0.56 mm (male) in F. callani); slightly more rounded abdomen, and narrower tergites (e.g. half-tergite VI 3.00 (male) and 3.10–3.13 (female) longer than broad, but 2.94 (male) in F. callani); and from F. linetteae by the position of trichobothrium sb, which is situated slightly basally to t, whereas it is situated opposite t in F. linetteae.

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.
