  Type data:

   Neotype ANIC MEI130241 adult ♂ (21.ix.1919, G.H. Hardy), NSW: Sydney [33.865°S, 151.208°E]
  Comment: Kröber (1912:219) described this species on the basis of a female from "Australien". The type was destroyed in Hamburg during World War 2. The Sydney male specimen selected as neotype by Lyneborg (2001) was identified by J. Mann in 1928 as A. abdominalis, and agrees closely with the description.
