Austropurcellia

Popkin-Hall, Zachary R. & Boyer, Sarah L., 2014, New species of mite harvestmen from southeast Queensland, Australia greatly extend the known distribution of the genus Austropurcellia (Arachnida, Opiliones, Cyphophthalmi), Zootaxa 3827 (4), pp. 517-541 : 536

Austropurcellia sp.

Material examined: Australia, Southeast Queensland, Mary Cairncross Park, Maleny; Coll. H.C. Proctor Feb. – March 2001; 1 ♀, 2 juveniles; MCZ IZ 98678. Coordinates on specimen vial are given as 26º47’S, 152º11’E; however, Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve is located at approximately 26º47’S, 152º53’E; we suspect a typo in longitude and our map ( Fig. 1 ) reflects the estimated coordinates rather than the recorded coordinates. Australia, Southeast Queensland, Peters Creek, Conondale National Park; 26º41’S, 152º36’E; Coll. D.E. Walter Mar. 17, 2001; 1 juvenile; MCZ IZ 98680.
