  Type data:

   Syntype(s) NHM-UK (Notes: Probable syntypic material is in BMNH and two slides were prepared from this material by Gullan in 1985. Gullan (personal communication, March 18, 1998) states that there are 3 collections of A. schraderi in the ASCT, but their collection data is poor. There is one lot that was collected in 1899 and is therefore old enough to possibly be syntypic. Illustr.), AUSTRALIA: New South Wales, in neighborhood of Sydney.
