Introduction

Amoaka & Last (2014) noted that records from Western Australia and the Northern Territory were based on Engyprosopon praeteritus, but did not examine material from eastern Australia. Examination of AM material indicates that both species occur in Queensland. Further studies are likely to show that the species is more widespread in Australia.
