• Exoediceros maculosus Sheard, K.S. 1936. Amphipods from a South Australian reef. Part 1. Records of the South Australian Museum (Adelaide) 5(4): 445-455 [452].

  Type data:

   
  Syntype(s) SAMA C2084 ♀ (lost), Sellicks Reef, Gulf St Vincent, SA; SAMA C2085, Sellicks Reef, Gulf St Vincent, SA; SAMA C2086, Sellicks Reef, Gulf St Vincent, SA
  Comment: an unjustified lectotype was designated by Barnard, J.L. & Drummond, M.M. 1983. Warreyus, a new genus of Exoedicerotidae (Crustacea, Amphipoda) based on Exoediceros maculosus Sheard. Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria 95(2): 65–75 [68] as SAMA C2105 (now registered as SAMA C4028). It was not part of the originally published type series. Paralectotypes SAMA C2105 and SAMA C2109 recorded by Barnard, J.L. & Drummond, M.M. 1983. Warreyus, a new genus of Exoedicerotidae (Crustacea, Amphipoda) based on Exoediceros maculosus Sheard. Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria 95(2): 65–75 (as syntypes) and by Zeidler, W. 1986. Status of Australian crustacean type material described by K. Sheard 1936–39. Crustaceana 51(1): 109–111 are also unjustified.
