Genus Chalinolobus Peters, 1866

Taxonomic Decision for Synonymy

 

Introduction

Parnaby et al. (2024) described a new species from southern Papua New Guinea (Chalinolobusorarius) and suggested the identity of specimens of C. nigrogriseus and C. gouldii from northern Australia should be reviewed to determine whether this new species also occurs in Australia
