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; ‘mls’ = miles; ‘mt’ or ‘mts’ = mountain(s). Points of the 
compass are abbreviated as N., E., S. and W. and combined as necessary. 
(4) Iype-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. Ifa 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
