Koenikea (Notomideopsis) crinita Cook, 1986

New record — 2/0/0, Glenoran Pool, W of Glenoran, 34°12.979′ S 115°56.436′ E, 160 m asl,

8 Feb. 2019.

Remarks — The specimens from (SW) Western Australia have an obsolete posterior margin of Cx-IV and fewer acetabula (26). Specimens from eastern Australia have a distinct posterior margin of Cx-IV, and more acetabula (I counted 38 acetabula in Figure 1040 of Cook

1986). Cook (1986) mentioned a large variation in size but not in the number of acetabula. As all specimens have the long coxal setae, the specimens of this study are assigned K to. crinita.

Distribution — Known from Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and reported here for the first time from Western Australia.
