• Type: "In plaga elevata arenoso-rupestri secus partes fluvii Victoriae necnon Wickhami australiores."

• Comment: Although a separate description is not given for the species the name is validly published by provision of a full description for the genus, which was then monotypic (descriptio generico-specifica; ICN Art. 38.5 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
• Comment: Published under ROEPERIA F.Muell., nom. illeg. (1857), non Spreng. (1826) et non ROEPERA A.Juss. (1825).
