Type deposition. SAM .

Type data. Ex Echymipera kalubu kalubu (syn. Echymipera doreyana ), Dutch New Guinea ( Indonesia, West Papua Province), Sansapor.

Distribution. Indonesia, Papua New Guinea.

Remarks. This species was synonymized with Neoschoengastia perameles Womersley, 1939 by Domrow (1960c). The last revision of Australian chiggers ( Domrow & Lester 1985) included Guntheria (Phyllacarus) perameles , but this synonym was omitted. Since the discrimination between G. crinita and G. perameles provided by Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston (1971) and Goff (1980) seems grounded, I retain here the former as a separate species.
