Asytesta aucta Faust, J. 1898. Curculioniden aus dem Malayischen und Polynesichen Inselgebiet II. Stettiner Entomologische Zeitung 59: 140-214 [164 (key), 168 (description)].
Type data:
Lectotype SMTD, Papua New Guinea: Ighibirei.
Subsequent designation references:
Setliff, G.P. 2012. Revision of Asytesta Pascoe, 1865, with comments on the phylogeny of the Indo-Australian crowned weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Cryptorhynchinae). Zootaxa 3462: 1-125 [68].
Asytesta granulifera Lea, A.M. 1928. Cryptorhynchides (Curculionidae) mostly from Australia. Records of the South Australian Museum (Adelaide) 4(1): 49-90 [75].
Type data:
Lectotype SAMA (Setliff (2012) comments that "Lea (1928: 76) notes that the type locality for A. granulifera (Kuranda, in North Queensland, Australia) is in error, adding that the specimens are likely from the Astrolabe range in Papua New Guinea where F. P. Dodd (the collector of that species’ type series) worked. I agree with Lea that his specimen most likely came from the Astrolabe range, not Australia."), Australia: Queensland.

This species should probably be excluded from the Australian fauna (see Setliff 2012)
