the true provenance is cited first and is followed by appropriate annotation in 

 square brackets. If the published locality is suspect (e.g. because later collecting 

 has not yielded specimens from the same area) but cannot be shown to be wrong 

 then it is placed in inverted commas, e.g. 'Tasmania'. Minor discrepancies 

 between the data on a primary type and that shown in the original publication are 

 suitably indicated if their importance warrants it. When citing type-localities 

 that are known more precisely than usual the following abbreviations have been 

 used: 'Is' = island; 'mis' = miles; 'mt' or 'mts' = mountain(s). Points of the 

 compass are abbreviated as N., E., S. and W. and combined as necessary. 



(4) Type-depository and location. These are shown in parentheses immediately 

 after the type-locality, with the abbreviation for the depository museum given 

 first and followed by the city. If a primary type is lost or has not been located 

 this is stated in parentheses after the type-locality (sometimes with some amplifying 

 words if pertinent). The abbreviations used for the museum depositories are 

 as follows:

(5) Localities of extra-Australian type-species. It may conveniently be noted 

 here that statements of the original provenance of the type-species of genus-group 

 names are given only for those names that are based on extra-Australian 

 type-species. For example Calozenillia is based on a type-species from Sumatra, 

 and the locality 'Sumatra' is therefore given in parentheses at the end of the 

 generic entry. Localities are not given in the generic synonymies for the names
