Lepidocyrtus (Carocyrtus) Yoshii & Suhardjono 1989

Description

Lepidocyrtus (Carocyrtus) Yoshii & Suhardjono, 1989

Lepidocyrtus (Carocyrtus) ralumensis Schäffer, 1898

This species was described from New Britain (now Papua New Guinea). Assuming that the L. ralumensis descriptions given by Yosii (1960) and Yoshii & Suhardjono (1992a) are correct, then this species belongs to the subgenus Carocyrtus. The specimens deposited at SAM and identified as L. ralumensis by Womersley have characters of Setogaster so there is currently no evidence that L. ralumensis is presentin Australia. Distribution. Indonesia, Solomon Islands.

Lepidocyrtus (Lanocyrtus) Yoshii & Suhardjono, 1989

Lepidocyrtus (Lanocyrtus) cyaneus Tullberg, 1871

An original incorrect identification made by Greenslade & Wise (1986) was later corrected to Lepidocyrtus violaceus (Geoffroy, 1762) (Greenslade 2006, 2007–2015). Specimens identified by Womersley in 1934 (slide SAM007) as L. cyaneus are Setogaster so there is currently no evidence that L. cyaneus is present in Australia. Distribution. Holarctic.

Lepidocyrtus (Lanocyrtus) fimetarius Gisin, 1964

The record of this species in Greenslade & Ireson (1986), Greenslade (1994, 2007–2015) is correct.

New records. Cotton fields (Auscott Warren), Jenolan caves, mushrooms (Pleurotus sp. from Sydney Market). Distribution. Europe (Albania, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Sweden). Introduced in Australia.

Lepidocyrtus (Lanocyrtus) pallidus Reuter, 1890

New records. Antarctica, in hydroponics, Davis Station, 28.xii.1986, J. Ferris. Distribution. Cosmopolitan. Introduced to the Australian Antarctic Territory.

Lepidocyrtus (Lepidocyrtus) Bourlet, 1839

Lepidocyrtus (Lepidocyrtus) violaceus (Geoffroy, 1762) Specimens deposited at SAM and originally incorrectly identified as L. lignorum and L. cyaneus. The corrected identification was published in Greenslade (2006, 2007–2015).

Distribution. Holarctic. Introduced to Australia.

Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) Salmon, 1951

Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) nigrofasciatus Womersley, 1934

Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) nigrofasciatus nigrofasciatus Womersley, 1934

Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) nigrofasciatus aureus Womersley, 1934 syn. nov. Distribution. South Australia, Adelaide, Mt Lofty Ranges; Victoria, Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Ranges.

Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) praecisus Schött, 1917 Lepidocyrtus praecisus Schött, 1917

Distribution. Queensland, Ravenshoe; South Australia, Mt Lofty Ranges, Kangaroo Island; Victoria, You Yang Mts; Western Australia, Perth.

Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) spp.

Records of several species under study (Fig. 49): several localities at the states of South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, and Australian Capital Territory.
