  Type data:

   Lectotype ANIC 25 061909 ♀ (Sloane coll.), Kuranda, Queensland.
  Paralectotype(s) ANIC ♀ (partly destroyed), same locality data as lectotype
  Comment: This species was originally described as a "variation" of Perigona rufilabris and was synonymised by all later authors with that species. Baehr (2013) raised this species to specific status.

  Subsequent designation references:

  Baehr, M. 2013. The species of the genus Perigona Castelnau from New Guinea, Sulawesi, Halmahera and Australia, and of the parvicollis-pygmaea-lineage (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Perigonini). Entomologische Blätter und Coleoptera 109: 1–132 [18].
