Ptycta australis Schmidt and Thornton View in CoL

Ptycta australis Schmidt and Thornton, 1993: 201 View in CoL .

Ptycta glossoptera View in CoL New. Cole et al., 1989: 34.

Ptycta sp. A . Cole et al., 1989: 34.

Material examined. Many individuals collected from November to August.

Distribution. Tasmania, Bass Strait Is and Victoria.

Remarks. Examination of the Bass Strait material ( Cole et al., 1989) shows that records of Ptycta glossoptera New (males only) and Ptycta sp. A (females only) are of this species. The IO:D measured for males of this species by Schmidt and Thornton (1993) is incorrect; the correct value appears in the above key.

This species was found in wet scrub and heath in western, northwestern and northern regions, but on the northern coast it was taken on drier coastal scrub and heath. It was not found on the east coast south of Eddystone Point.
