Putoniessa mackei Evans

 Putoniessa mackei Evans 1966: 121 

Note: Stevens (1994: 1052) considered a number of isolated specimens from widespread localities in SE Australia to be very close to this species but was unable to establish that they were all conspecific. It is possible that a complex of closely related species occurs across SE Australia, centred on P. mackei, but it is also possible that the species is widespread but uncommon. The Tasmanian record is typical of these isolated occurrences.

Known hosts: Melaleuca (Myrtaceae) (Evans 1966)

Putoniessa nigrella Evans

Putoniessa nigrella Evans 1966: 123

Note: The record from Queensland is based on two specimens in JWE labelled "Burleigh" with "Q" or "QLD". It is possible that this locality record is incorrect. The locality in Queensland is Burleigh Heads while there is a locality in Victoria named Burleigh which is otherwise in the centre of the distribution of the species. It is possible that the writer of the label incorrectly assumed the locality was in Queensland. However, since the label includes reference to Queensland, the record of the species in that state is included here.

Note: The type locality for this species is in New South Wales. The original data are "Ruby Ck, N.S.W., nr Stanthorpe, S.E.Q." The species is also recorded from Stanthorpe which is a Qld locality so the known distribution straddles the border between the two states.

Rhotidus kirkaldyi Metcalf 1955: 265, nom. nov. for Rhotidus stali Kirkaldy, synonymised by Evans 1966: 127

Note: Kirkaldy (1907: 26) suggested a synonymy between Rhotidus Walker and Ledropsis White. This would have brought Ledropsis stali Melichar into senior homonymy with Ledropsis stali (Kirkaldy) so Metcalf (1955) proposed the new name R. kirkaldyi for R. stali Kirkaldy. Evans (1966) mispelled the species name as "teleformis" but the original was as above.
