Note

Undescribed species:
Unpublished MS by D.G. Frey, recovered by RJS from his desk in Bloomington, IN, shortly after his death, describes 4 n. spp. of Rak from Westrern Australia. The MS was submitted to Hydrobiologia, but was 'lost'. Until a revised MS can be prepared, with SEM micrographs, Rak species in WA should be identified with caution. WA records of the two named species are likely to be incorrectly identified.
