Smittia wirthi Freeman, P. 1961. The Chironomidae (Diptera) of Australia. Australian Journal of Zoology 9: 611-737 [666].
Type data:
Holotype USNM Type No. 67958, USNM ♂ adult (According to Ferrington & Saether, 2011: 54 "AUSTRALIA: New South Wales, Cereal Bay, salt marsh, 20.ix.1956, W.W. Wirth". Should be Careel Bay), Careel Bay, NSW.

Allocladius wirthi (Freeman, 1961) [Ferrington & Saether, 2011: 54 "Diagnostic characters: The lack of a superior volsella combined with a large, rounded anal point and a well developed accessory lobe of the inferior volsella distinguish the male imago from other members of the genus." And Ferrington & Saether, 2011: 57 in Remarks. This species is only tentatively placed in Allocladius. A. wirthi, A. caspersi, A. fortispinatus and perhaps A. bothnicus are the only Allocladius without a supraalar. The anal point of A. wirthi is strikingly different from other members of the genus]. —
