    Diagnosis

    Urodacus FP-14490 is diagnosed by molecular methods (COI barcoding). Sequence data places it in the U. butleri-complex.

    This is a species with high genetic divergence of up to 6% and may represent a cluster of maybe three different species. Further sequences (and morphological examination of males) of this clade are required to solidy the taxonomic position.

    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.
