Taxonomic Decision for Synonymy

 

Introduction

The identities of the various species of Dardus need to be determined by examination of the type material. The current location of the material on which the three names synonymised as D. abbreviatus (Guérin-Méneville) is unknown. No precise locality was given for any of the three names but Stål (1859) and Kirkaldy (1906) both gave Sydney, New South Wales, and Hacker (1924) listed the species from Acacia in the Brisbane, Queensland, area. It is probable that this is the common species of the genus on wattles along the eastern coastline of Australia.
