Introduction
There is an Australian specimen of Echetlus evoneobertii (as Canodiva evoneobertii, now recognised as Arumatia dubia) reportedly housed at the Zoological Museum of the Christian-Albrechts University in Germany; however, the specimen cannot be located. Ghirotto et al. (2022) suspect the specimen was misidentified and represents a distinct Australian native species.
