Remarks. The synonymy of Eulimnadia rivolensis with Limnadia sordida was first suggested by Sayce (1903) and supported by Henry (1924). Sayce’s (1903) and Gurney’s (1927) figures show that this species belongs to the genus Limnadia (no spine on the lower distal angle of the telson) and not Eulimnadia .

Distribution. Vicinity of Rivoli Bay, Upper Onkaringa Creek (Northern Territory); Cheltenham (Victoria); small ponds near Busselton (Western Australia); vicinity of Longreach (Queensland); Botany Bay, Moore Park, Nelson Bay, Myall Lakes, Lismore (all New South Wales) (all refer to L. rivolensis ); Pond near Bondi Bay, Botany Swamps, off Bunnerong Road, Moore Park near Sydney (New South Wales) (refer to L. sordida ).
