Broghammerus timoriensis (Peters, 1876)

Synonyms:

Austroliasis timorensis (Peters) - Hoser 2000 (incorrect subsequent spelling of Australiasis Wells & Wellington and of timoriensis Peters, APP4)

Broghammerus timoriensis (Peters)- Rawlings et al. 2008

Remarks:

Doubts were casted in literature that this species occurs on Timor (e.g., Barker and Barker 1996, McDiarmid et al. 1999, O’Shea 2007) because no records other than the type specimen are known from Timor, and this reported occurrence is likely incorrect.
