Introduction

Womersley (1942) described Echinothrombium queenslandiae and later, Womersley (1945), described Spathulathrombium queenslandiae. The annotation of the latter as "sp. nov." is an error. These two descriptions refer to the same species, now placed in Ctenerythraeus following Southcott (1957) and Gabryś (1999).
