Type data:
Lectotype MHNT AR0824 ♂, Qld: Brisbane [27°28’S 153°01’E].
Paralectotype(s) MHNT AR0824 2 ♀, as lectotype; AR0825 ♀ (misidentification, the specimen labelled ‘Lycosa expolita’ by L. Koch is Artoria albopilata (Urquhart, 1893) (see Framenau 2005)), Qld: Brisbane
Comment: Framenau (2007) considers it doubtful that the male in BMNH (1919.9.18.337) is a syntype as listed by McKay (1979).Subsequent designation references:
