Introduction

Considered to be a junior synonym of S. mine Börner, 1907 by Greenslade (1994: 132), but this is now considered unlikely (Penny Greenslade, pers. comm. 2014).

Note that conversion of the original AFD map of states, drainage basins and coastal and oceanic zones to IBRA and IMCRA regions may have produced errors. The new maps will be reviewed and corrected as updates occur. The maps may not indicate the entire distribution. See further details below.
