Hollis, D. The Australian Faunal Directory, http://biodiversity.org.au/afd (Maskell's figures of the adult suggest this species belongs in Glycaspis but the lerps figured more closely resemble those of Creiis or Spondyliaspis. It is possible that the lerps figured were not made by the larvae of the adult figured)
