• Achorutes hirtellus wellingtonia Womersley, H. 1936. Further records and descriptions of Australian Collembola. Records of the South Australian Museum (Adelaide) 5(4): 475-485 [477] [originally described as a morphological variety of Achorutes hirtellus Börner; Yosii, R. 1966. Neanurid Collembola of Australia preserved in the South Australian Museum. Records of the South Australian Museum 15: 261–274 elevates Womersley's subspecies to species but incorrectly gives Yosii sp. n. the authority which should correctly be Womersley, 1936. The lectotype of Australonura wellingtonia was chosen from material figured by Womersley in the original description and not material in alcohol labelled by Yosii 'typus'; Womersley's original description noted morphological differences from the nominate species Achorutes hirtellus Börner from Java and he clearly considered it of higher than infrasubspecific rank since he labelled some alcohol specimens 'Achorutes wellingtonia sp. n. det. H. Womersley' (ICZN Art. 45 f, g)].
