Introduction

The correct authorship of Lanceoppia is Balogh, 1965, not Hammer, 1962, as is often stated, since Hammer did not designate a type species for the genus, and her name is therefore unavailable. See Marshall et al. (1987) for further discussion of this point. In addition to the named species listed here, unidentified species of Lanceoppia have been reported from Australia by Moulton (1982), Malipatil & Blyth (1982), Lee (1986), Colloff & Halliday (1998), Proctor et al. (2002), Osler & Murphy (2005) and Green (2010).
