Austrothaumalea minnamurrae Theischinger 1986

Description

Austrothaumalea minnamurrae Theischinger

Austrothaumalea minnamurrae Theischinger, 1986: 304.

Material examined. New South Wales: 1 ?, Blue Mtns NP, Blackheath, Grose Gorge, Govetts Ck, 1.xii.1993 (CNC); 2 ??, Blue Mtns NP, Valley of the Waters, cascading ck, 320 m, 3.i.1994, 9.iv.1995 (AMS); 1 ?, 7 km E Robertson, Macquarie Pass NP, 23.xi.1993 (CNC). Queensland: 1 ?, Bunya Mts NP, face of Little Falls, 8.ix.2002 (ZFMK). Victoria: 1 ?, Mt. Buffalo NP, Eurobin Ck, 30.xi.1994 (AMS).

Distribution. This species ranges from southern Queensland to northern Victoria.

Remarks. The specimen from Woombye that was only tentatively included by Theischinger (1986) in A. minnamurrae is undoubtedly an undescribed species. Unfortunately, this specimen has been lost (see Acknowledgments).

The Bunya Mts specimen listed above possesses gonostyli with broad bases, similar to the Woombye species illustrated by Theischinger (1986, fig. 48). However all other key characters (e.g., shape of gonocoxal plate, lateral epandrial lobe) are very similar to that typical of A. minnamurrae.
