Species Cantharidus gilberti (Fischer, 1878)

Introduction

Often the authorship used for this taxon is "Montrouzier in Fischer, 1878", but Fischer, 1978 is used here as in the original description Fischer notes that it is based on a Montrouzier ms, but that leaves the author as Fischer.

Extra Distribution Information

Tropical Pacific (Cernohorsky 1978). Wilson (1993: pl. 9, fig. 14) illustrates specimens with a locality of Dampier Archipelago and Admiralty Gulf, WA. He gives the range as Northern Australia to New Caledonia (p. 80). The Australian Museum holds specimens from New Caldonia, but no Australian specimens identified as this species, placing Wilson's identification in doubt.
