Yardiella humphreysi Gray 1994 View in CoL , p. 59, figs. 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 107, 116 – 124.

Male holotype from Cave C94, North-West Cape Peninsula, WA, 21°47' S, 114°10' E, 20/IX/1988, M. Gray & S. Eberhard, deposited in WAM, not examined. Male and female paratypes from the same locality (AM KS.21587, KS.30229, KS.30225, KS.30228, KS.21603), examined.

This species so far has been recorded only from caves ( Gray 1994). I have examined a female from leaf litter samples taken from under a fig tree (WAM T48338), representing the first epigeal record of this species.
