Remarks

The following 6 species clearly belong to 5 separate lineages within the genus, and as such form a good representation of juvenile morphologies within the genus. For one species ( B. gwelupensis ), juveniles of two populations could be compared. Bennelongia dedeckkeri from Queensland and B. cf. barangaroo nov. sp. are so closely related and show such similarity in ontogeny that they are discussed together. They might in fact be the same species, but this will be discussed elsewhere.
