On some Silverfish Taxa from Tasmania (Zygentoma: Lepismatidae and Nicoletiidae) Author Smith, Graeme B. text Records of the Australian Museum 2016 2016-07-21 68 2 45 80 http://dx.doi.org/10.3853/j.2201-4349.68.2016.1652 journal article 10.3853/j.2201-4349.68.2016.1652 2201-4349 5238073 Heterolepisma kraepelini Silvestri, 1908 Heterolepisma kraepelini Silvestri, 1908b: 50 . Remarks . Originally described from Yalgoo in Western Australia , Womersley (1939) reported the species as frequently found under the bark of Eucalypts in the foothills of the Mt Lofty Ranges near Adelaide, SA and at Trevallyn, TAS. Collecting by the current author has found the genus to be very diverse in Australia with numerous undescribed species most seeming to be moderately localised in their distribution. Furthermore, the systematics of the genus today includes many more characters than was the case in the time of Silvestri and Womersley (e.g., the chaetotaxy of urotergite I). The Trevallyn specimen has not been seen by the current author although it could be within the collection of the South Australian Museum. It is quite likely that it may not belong to H. kraepelini and the record of this species in Tasmania should be treated as uncertain. In many characters it resembles the following species although H. kraepelini is reported to have more pairs of styli and it is unlikely that this would have been mistaken by Womersley.
