Compterosmittia pectinata (Freeman) View in CoL

Gymnometriocnemus pectinatus Freeman, 1961: 662 .

Compterosmittia pectinata (Freeman) View in CoL ; Cranston and Martin 1989: 259.? Compterosmittia pectinata (Freeman) View in CoL ; 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).
