Allothereua simplex ( Haase, 1887) View in CoL

Scutigera simplex Haase, 1887: 26 , Taf. 1, 29.

Type localities: Australia: Sydney (holotype), Adelaide (paratype).

Type: female, holotype, No 14455, ZMH; paratype in Göttingen Museum?

Material examined: 5 ad. MM, subad. F, Australia, Victoria (Coll. François) H. Brölemann det.

General distributiuon: Australia.

Remarks: The taxonomic status of this species is still uncertain. Both Pocock (1901) and Chamberlin (1920) considered it as identical with the common Australian species Allothereua maculata ( Newport, 1844) , though the synonymy has never been established formally. Only a reexamination of the type together with a study of additional material from Australia will resolve this question.
