RECLASSIFICATION OF SUBFAMILY AGRYPNINAE 187 
The description was based on an unrecorded number of specimens from 
S. AUSTRALIA, near Murray Bridge. 
The BMNH does not possess any specimens of this species. Neboiss (1956 : 10) 
records that the type is in the SAM, Adelaide, but this cannot be accepted as a 
valid holotype designation. 
The generic attribution is based on the description.
