   Lectotype DEIB ♂, VIC.

  Subsequent designation references:

  Neboiss, A. 1967. The genera Paracalais gen. nov. and Austrocalais gen. nov. (Coleoptera: Elateridae). Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria 80(2): 259-288 [Date published Jul. 28, 1967] [280]; Calder, A.A. 1998. Coleoptera: Elateroidea. In Wells, A. (ed.) Zoological Catalogue of Australia. Volume 29.6. Melbourne : CSIRO Publishing, Australia. xiii 248 pp. [78] (interprets Neboiss' incorrect inference to a type as a lectotype designation (Art. 74, ICZN 1985)).

  Type locality references:
