Old type catalogues. Weidner (1960), p. 66, No. 21. Syntypes 8 and paratypes (number not specified).
Type status. Kraepelin (1908) did not specify the number of specimens in his description and Weidner (1960: 66) listed 8 syntypes from Albany and additional types (on file card 17 “ paratypes ”) from Bridgetown, Harvey, Bunburry, Collie, Torbay and Guildford. All specimens are syntypes.
Additional type material. There are additional syntypes from Albany at the ZMB (no. 4632-37).
Collection remarks. All specimens were collected by Wilhelm Michaelsen during his expedition to Western Australia 1905. Considering the pronounced local endemism in this biodiversity hotspot (Rix et al. 2015; Harms et al. 2019), it is possible that these syntypes represent multiple species.
Current systematic position. Cormocephalus hartmeyeri Kraepelin, 1908.
