Adoryphorus canei Carne 1957b:
111
"Paratypes":
2, Termeil, NSW, 21.ix.1899
| Note: Carne appears to have labelled these two specimens as
paratypes and returned them to ASCU before preparing his publication and
therefore omitted them from the type list. They therefore cannot be regarded
as valid paratypes. |

Anodontonyx noxius Arrow 1932:
193
Paralectotype:
1, Billimari, NSW, W.B. Gurney.
Note: This specimen is labelled as cotype of A. noxius and matches
the type data given by Arrow (1932).
Cassis
et al. (1992:
333) have taken Britton's (1987)
reference to a holotype of A noxius (in BMNH)
as being a lectotype designation by default.
ASCU holds further specimens of
this species with identical data labels and one of these also bears a note
stating "Coll. No. 4854, 27.x.1930" signed "7.x.1931, E.H.Z." (= Emile
Zeck) with a later annotation "These four specimens returned from Imp.
Inst. of Ento." This indicates that all four specimens, including the paralectotype,
were probably available to Arrow when he described A. noxius. |

Anomalomorpha giveni Carne 1957b:
115
Paratypes:
2 males, Bombala, NSW, 1904, Edwards
| Note: Carne (p. 116) stated that the two specimens in ASCU were
unlabelled but they both, in fact, bear data labels as above. |

Anoplognathus narmarus Carne 1957a:

Paratypes:
1 male, Broken Hill, NSW, 24.ii.1944, C.E. Chadwick
1 female, Broken Hill, NSW, 8.iii.1943, C.E. Chadwick
1 male, 1 female, Broken Hill, NSW, 16.iv.1944, C.E. Chadwick

1 male, Broken Hill, NSW 11.xi.1944
1 male, Sth Broken Hill, NSW, 27.xi.1946, R.A. Cederblad
| Note: Carne (1957a: 111)
indicates that the collections from 8.iii.1943, 16.iv.1944 and 20.xii.1944
were made by G.W. Anson but, in fact, the first two collections were made
by C.E. Chadwick and not Anson. |

Anoplognathus pindarus Carne 1957a:
117
Paratypes:
1, Black Mountain, ACT, 8.xii.1950, P.B. Carne
1, Black Mountain, ACT, 16.iii.1951, P.B. Carne
1, Black Mountain, ACT, 1.i.1952, L. Chinnick
| Note: Carne (1957a: 118)
states "Dates of collection range from 26th December to 30th January, with
the majority taken during the third week of January." This would imply
that two of the above specimens, labelled paratypes in Carne's hand, do
not form part of the type series although Carne states that some of the
300 paratypes designated are deposited in NSWDA (= ASCU). |

Antitrogus robertsi Britton 1978:
18
Paratypes:
2 males, Glen Innes, NSW, 23.xii.1966, C.E. Chadwick, at light
1 male, Tweed River, NSW
12 males, Maleny, Qld, 30.xii.1966, C.E. Chadwick, at light
| Note: Britton (1978
: 18) notes that there were 3 males collected by Chadwick at Glen Innes
but indicates that these are shared between AM
and DAS (= ASCU). This is consistent
with the presence of only 2 males in ASCU. However, ASCU holds a third
male collected by Chadwick at Glen Innes and also labelled, in Britton's
hand, as a paratype of A. robertsi but collected on 28.xii.1966.
It is possible that the date was misread by Britton since the 23 and 28
on the different labels are handwritten. However, it is also possible that
this specimen was inadvertently omitted from the type list prepared by
Britton, in which case it would be excluded from the type series. It would
appear that Chadwick spent the Christmas period from 23 to 28.xii.1966
at Glen Innes and collected throughout his stay, moving on to Maleny in
Qld where he collected further specimens on 30.xii.1966. However, the 12
males from Maleny are not true A. robertsi and will be reassigned
to another species of Antitrogus (P.G. Allsopp, pers. comm.
2000). |

Paratypes:
24, same data as holotype
4 (on three mounts), Lisarow, NSW, 19.ix.1954, C.E. Chadwick, in termitarium
of Coptotermes lacteus F.
| Note: The holotype and topotypic paratypes are all labelled
as being collected on 11.vii.1948, not 10.vii.1948 as stated by Britton
(1957: 140). In addition, the original
publication states that the holotype and 26 paratypes are in Department
of Agriculture, Sydney (= ASCU) but
this collection holds 28 paratypes. Five further paratypes are said to
be held by BMNH and 2 more by AM. Britton (1957:
141) provides paratype collection data not represented in ASCU and these,
presumably, are the data from the BMNH and AM specimens. |

"Paratype":
1 Bardwell Park [suburb of Sydney, NSW], 20.i.1941, Wells
| Note: This specimen, labelled by Britton as paratype, carries
collection data not listed in the original description and must therefore
be excluded from the type series. The data match paratype data for M.
serratus Britton but the numbers and label data of paratypes of M.
serratus held by ASCU match those
originally designated by Britton (1957). |

Pimelopus porcellus porcellus Erichson 1842:
160
"Neoparatype":
1, Snaky Hollow, Babel Island, Furneaux Group, Tasmania, 21.iii.1950,
T.G. Campbell
| Notes: Carne (1957b):
38) in synonymising Pimelopus sydneyanus Blackburn (1896) with P.
p. porcellus appears to have designated the "type" of the former as
the neotype of the latter. Reference to this specimen as the "type" of
P.
sydneyanus is taken by Cassis
et al. (1992)
as constituting a lectotype designation by default for
P. sydneyanus.
Cassis
et
al. (1992): 411) also
suggest that the original holotype of
P. p. porcellus, from Tasmania,
probably exists in ZMHB, although no
specimen was examined by them. Carne's (1957b)
designation of the lectotype of P. sydneyanus as a neotype would
therefore be invalid. Carne (1957b)
listed a further 41 specimens of the species, of which this specimen in
ASCU
is one. In addition to a "Neoparatype" label, the specimen bears an annotation
on the identification label that the specimen was "Comp. with neotype". |

Saprosites pygidialis Lea
1923: 15
Syntypes:
3 (mounted together on card), Tamworth, NSW, Lea.
| Notes: These specimens bear type data that match Lea's original
published data. Cassis
et al. (1992)
presumed that the type material was in SAMA
presumably because A.M. Lea was curator there for many years but Lea spent
some years with NSW Agriculture prior to his joining SAMA.
Lea (1923) does not indicate where
the type specimens were deposited and it is here proposed that these specimens
are part of, if not entirely, the type series. |

Saprosites sternalis Blackburn 1904:
176
?Syntype:
Tweed R. NSW, 3.iv.1892, Lea
| Note: Lea (1923) states
that the type of this species is in BMNH
but this was not confirmed by Cassis
et al. (1992).
The specimen in ASCU matches the type
data published by Blackburn (1904)
and may form part of the original type series. Lea's (1923)
statement that the type is in BMNH
may constitute a lectotype designation by default. |

dysgenius Lea N.S. Wales" with "Cotype" written across the end in red
ink. Two further pairs bearing the same label data but without the identification
and cotype label are also present in the collection. This species name
would appear not to have been validated by publication. Zimmerman (1992)
does not include this name in his species list of Myllocerus. |

Bidessus migrator Sharp 1882:
345
2 specimens (mounted on separate cards on same pin), Clarence River,

| Note: These two specimens bear type labels which appear to have
been attached by Guignot in 1955 who added a label "Clypeodytes (s.
str.) clarenticus n. sp. Holotype et paratype". This is a manuscript
name that Guignot never published. The specimens also bear a determination
label added by C.H.S. Watts in 1981 identifying them as C. migrator.
This note is included here simply to avoid future confusion from the "type"
labels. |

107
Paratypes:
1 male, 1 female, Bribbaree, NSW, 18.x.1968, J.T. Hamilton, from pupae
collected in wheat, 9.x.1966 [see note below]
1 female, Bribbarii, NSW, 14.x.1968, from pupae collected in wheat,
9.x.1968
| Notes: One of the two specimens collected on 18.x.1968 has been
relabelled (evidenced by a different style of labelling with handwriting
matching the author's determination label), presumably by Calder. It appears
that both specimens were originally mounted on separate cards but on the
same pin. However, in remounting the specimen the second label was not
duplicated exactly and lacked the reference to wheat but it is presumed
that both of these specimens were reared from pupae collected in wheat.
The date on one of the original labels says "1966" as shown above but this
is presumed to be in error for 1968. |

Crepidomerus gidju Calder 1986:
76
Paratypes:
5 males, Tamworth, NSW, 9.xii.1892, Lea.
| Notes: Calder (1986:
76) states that 6 males and 4 non-type specimens lacking an abdomen are
in ASCU. However, there are only 5
specimens with paratype labels, one of which is missing except for the
genitalia in a vial attached to the pin. Of the four other specimens (all
with identical collection data to the paratypes) three are lacking an abdomen
and the other has an abdomen as well as dissected genitalia in a vial.
This latter specimen (which is missing the head and prothorax) may be the
sixth paratype. |

Limonius angulatus Carter 1939:
321
Paratypes:
2 specimens (mounted together on card), Cairns, N.Q.
| Notes: Carter (1939:
321) states that the holotype is in AM.
However, Calder (1998: 110) lists
a range of syntype specimens held by a number of institutions, including
7 (on three mounts) in AM. There is a pair of specimens on a card on a
single pin labelled "holotype/ Limonius angulatus" and "Barrington Tops/N.S.Wales"
(Max Moulds, pers. comm. 2000). It would appear that Carter's intention
was that one of these specimens would have holotype status but, since there
is no clear holotype established, Calder (1998:
110) has accepted the entire type series as having syntype status. |

| Notes: This specimen bears a paratype label and is listed as
a syntype by Calder (1998: 89).
However, Carter (1939: 319) states
"Type series in the South Australian Museum" which would indicate that
only the SAMA specimens are syntypes. |

"Aulacocyclus dibbi Hincks"
| Notes: ASCU holds three
specimens collected "Solomon Islands, ix.1910" and labelled as holotype
and 2 paratypes of Aulacocyclus dibbi Hincks. No record of a publication
validating this name has been found. These three specimens are grouped
with a further six specimens from the Solomon Islands, five of which have
identical labels to these three (the other was collected Solomon Island,
vii-viii.1909, W.W. Froggatt). One of these other specimens bears a determination
label reading "Aulacocyclus sp. n. papuanus (Heller) / det.
R.B. Madge 1981". This would imply that Madge also believed that Hincks'
name was unpublished but that the specimens may represent an undescribed
species close to A. papuanus. |

Holotype:
Limestone tributary of left bank of Isdell River, NWA [North Western

C. Davis, roots of water plants.
| Notes: The specimen bears a holotype label as well as a determination
label by Zeck stating "Austrolimnius queenslandicus Zeck 1947".
The data label is large and folded and bears all the detailed information
listed above, which is also given with the original description of A.
