Acknowledgments. I am grateful to many land owners/managers, 
particularly the Davis family formally of Rockwell, David Leigo 
of Bloodwood, The Bremner family of Muella, Mark and Jenny 
Handley of Bindegolly and Currawinya National Parks (Qld), and 
Alan and Joy Longbottom of Sieda Farm, for access to their lands 
and for fantastic hospitality. Also of much help were Dave Cale, 
Stuart Halse, Jane McRae and Adrian Pinder of the Department of 
Conservation (WA) and Michael Geddes of Adelaide who shared 
their specimens of Limnadopsis with me, and Michael Douglas, 
who helped on the Darwin trip (but he is not responsible for the 
lack of sufficient rain to stir L. brunneus from its sleep). I appreciate 
Sue Lindsay’s help with the SEM work and Buz Wilson’s help 
with computer graphics at the Australian Museum, Jane McRae’s 
drawings of L. pilbarensis, “her” discovery from the Pilbara, 
and discussions with Buz Wilson. Finally, I am indebted to D. 
Christopher Rogers, Stefan Richter and two anonymous referees 
for information and for enlightened criticism of the manuscript.
