Chalcophora superba : Kerremans 1885: 127 ; Masters 1886: 70 ; Kerremans 1892: 43 . Pseudotaenia superba : Kerremans 1903: 81 ; 1909: 88 ; Obenberger 1926: 146 ; Carter 1929: 300 ; Bellamy 2002: 57 . Pseudotaenia laeta : Carnaby 1987: 24 (misidentification). Type locality. “ Nicol Bay , W. Australia .” Specimens examined. The ♀ holotype ( BMNH ) . Distribution. Australia , Western Australia , Pilbara region. Biology/Bionomy. Carnaby (1987) recorded this species (as P. laeta sic!) found dead along the Ashburton River underneath the river gums in March along with P. gigas and ‘ Chalcotaenia ’ australasiae . Michael Powell (pers. comm.) believes this species uses a local, as yet undetermined species of Acacia as the larval host. Remarks. The published type locality of Nickol Bay (as ‘Nicol’) [ PIL ], W.A. indicates that this species is geographically well­separated from those species to which it is closest morphologically, e.g. P.frenchi and P. gigas .
