The holotype, labelled “Cpy: persimilis TYPE F. A. A. Skuse” and “Sydney.”, is almost complete, but strongly shrivelled. It belongs to a species of Peromyia, but which species is impossible to determine because characters of species-specific merit are absent. The species description by SKUSE is also uninformative with respect to species-specific features. Consequently, Campylomyza persimilispersimilis is another nomen dubium.
