Genus Protogamasellus Karg, 1962
Introduction
The Australian species of Protogamasellus were reviewed by Halliday et al. (1998). Beaulieu & Weeks (2007) reviewed the state of knowledge and ecological significance of this group in Australia. At least one more unidentified species is known to exist (Walter & Lindquist 1995; Longstaff et al. 1999; Proctor et al. 2011; Manwaring et al. 2015; Walter & Stirling, 2018).
