Description

Laparocerus australis (Wollaston, 1854) *

Atlantis australis Wollaston 1854, p 370.

Type locality. Quinta das Palmeiras, supra Funchal, Island of Madeira.

Lectotype: 1„ without anterior legs [637] Quinta das Palmeiras, til tree, 1850, leg. Wollaston [„] [lauripotens, Woll. elim.]. NHM, London. Paralectotypes: 2♀♀ one immature [637]. Same data. [type] [♀] [Atlantis / (noctivagans) / australis /Type Woll.]. NHM, London.

Remarks. Wollaston (1857, p 114) synonymized this species and A. lauripotens Wollaston, 1854 with A. noctivagans Wollaston, 1854, but later he recognized A. lauripotens as a valid species, to which A. australis should be ascribed as synonym (Wollaston 1871, p 273).
