• Aulonia micarioides Koch, L. in Koch, L. & Keyserling, E. [1871–1883] 1877. Die Arachniden Australiens. Nürnberg : Bauer & Raspe Vol. 2. [961 pl. 83 fig. 6, pl. 84 fig. 1].

  Type data:

   
  Syntype(s) ZMH MGN 14624, cat 84 ♀ adult, Port Mackay, QLD [21°10′S 149°14′E]; BMNH 1919.9.18.1384 ♂ adult, Bowen, Qld [20°00′S 148°14′E]
  Comment: Original description based on two syntypes, erroneously reported as female holotype and male "paratypoid" by Rack (1961). Lehtinen and Hippa (1979) attributed lectotype designation to Rack (1961). Yoo & Framenau (2006) revert to the orginal descriptor of syntypes, followed here, and give a repository for the previously lost male.
