Introduction
Borsato (2003) reports the finding of a specimen in the Giordani Soika collection generically labelled "Sydney" and also bearing the label holotype, however, Carpenter & Brown (2021) suggested that this specimen may be mislabelled, listed A. fluvialis as dubiae, and regarded Ancistrocerus as being absent in Australia.
