Remarks
.
Normplatnicka lamingtonensis
is a distinctive and widespread species, known from extreme south-eastern
Queensland
,
New South Wales
and
Victoria
. The
morphology of specimens from the Border Ranges (the
type
locality) and southern
Victoria
is almost identical, although northern specimens possess only two peg teeth on the male cheliceral promargin, whereas specimens from
Victoria
possess three. This species was included in the molecular phylogenetic analysis of
Rix et al. (2008)
as “
Textricella
sp. VICBlack”.
