Notes
The description for C. nodulosa in Busk (1881) was repeated in Busk (1884) under the name C. tuberculata, and no mention was made of C.tuberculata in 1884. This presumably was an editorial error. The specimen labelled C. nodulosa in the BMNH collection conforms to the 1881 description (P.Bock, pers. obs.), and is a species which is moderately common in southern Australia.
