Compterosmittia pectinata (Freeman)

Gymnometriocnemus pectinatus Freeman, 1961: 662 .

Compterosmittia pectinata (Freeman); Cranston and Martin 1989: 259.? Compterosmittia pectinata (Freeman); Cranston and Kitching 1995: 231.

Diagnostic characters: The male imago can be separated from other members of the genus by having inferior volsella a rounded strongly projecting simple lobe; anal point well developed with several strong lateral setae; and megaseta dentate.

Remarks: The immatures described from phytotelmata in Australia by Cranston and Kitching (1995) may belong to C. pectinata, as this is the only described Australian species. However, immatures belonging to the genus are widespread in a variety of Australian and Oriental phytotelmata (Cranston & Kitching 1995).
