General distributiuon:
Australia

Remarks:
The taxonomic status of this species is still uncertain. Both
Pocock (1901)
and
Chamberlin (1920)
considered it as identical with the common Australian species
Allothereua maculata
(
Newport, 1844
)
, though the synonymy has never been established formally. Only a reexamination of the
type
together with a study of additional material from
Australia
will resolve this question.
