Remarks.

This taxon is part of the Bothriembryon kingii species complex that extends from the Walpole area in the west to near Hopetoun in the east. Smith (1992) placed this species in the synonymy of Bothriembryon kingii (Gray, 1825). However, we are of the opinion that this species groupneeds further study.
