Moeseneder | F.I.T. | PMH Coll# Dyn 2066, 2067 or 2018” (PMH); 2♀, “ Dunmore S.F. Chinchilla Q. Aust. 29.Dec.2006 B. Howton | PMH Coll # Dyn 0423 or 0425” (PMH); 1♀, “W. Mt. Garnet N. Qld.

Diagnosis (Figs. 15–22, 41, 44–45). Description by Allsopp (2000). Body 11.3–17.0 mm long; dorsal surface shiny; distance between outer edges of canthi 1.8–1.9 times interocular distance; ocular canthus with lateral margin weakly arcuate then posteriorly angulate; pygidium with a few long setae at sides on anterior third; abdominal sternite 6 with posterior margin normal; metacoxal posterior margin broadly arcuate from midlength through posterolateral angle; metafemoral posterior margin weakly concave; Parameres parallel to truncate apices, apices curved slightly outwards, lateral tooth angulate and prominent
Distribution (Fig. 51). Additional material all came from within the known range of A. anthracina from eastern Queensland, through eastern New South Wales into inland Victoria.
We also re-examined a male and a female in MV labelled “Nat. Mus. Victoria W. Australia | French coll. 6.1.08” and, like Allsopp (2000), consider them to be A. anthracina and not the species described below. The first label is typeset and was presumably added by MV after it acquired the material sometime before 1932 (Musgrave 1932).
