Name

Tasmanitachoides lutus (Darlington, 1962)

• Original status: valid species
• Primary type: holotype
  • Fixation: designated and unique
  • Description: [adult] female
  • Repository: MCZ 30327
• Type locality: 'Termeil (north of Bateman’s Bay and east of the upper Clyde River), southern New South Wales ... It was actually found northwest of Termeil, well up in the hills, where I followed a system of wood roads nearly to (south of) a conspicuous summit called the Pigeon House. Here, in a small valley of eucalyptus woods, was a small brook, nearly dry but with water still in the pools, which were margined by sand bars. The single specimen of the present species was taken by washing sand at the water’s edge'
