Type data:
Lectotype SAMA (Setliff (2012) comments that "Lea (1928: 76) notes that the type locality for A. granulifera (Kuranda, in North Queensland, Australia) is in error, adding that the specimens are likely from the Astrolabe range in Papua New Guinea where F. P. Dodd (the collector of that species’ type series) worked. I agree with Lea that his specimen most likely came from the Astrolabe range, not Australia."), Australia: Queensland.Subsequent designation references:
