Figure 2. Known distribution of species in the fimbriatus group of the genus Maratus. M. fimbriatus was previously divided into two allopatric species groups, one in the interior of New South Wales (described as M. fimbriatus), and the second in the interior of Queensland (described as M. licunxini). New records of this species that have been posted and documented with reliable photographs in iNaturalist by Stuart Harris, Laurence Sanders and Wayne Winnington-Martin are included here. We have examined a specimen in the Australian Museum from the Pilbara (7) that has been identified as M.?fimbriatus and recorded in the Atlas of Living Australia, and have determined that this represents a new, undescribed species with a much smaller fringe around the opisthosoma. In some cases more than one locality is marked by one circle. The known distribution of M. ammophilus is parapatric to the closely-related M. speculifer, with both species found on sands near the Indian Ocean coast of Western Australia. Other members of the group are known only from isolated sites in the interior of South Australia.
