Notophthiracarus leei
Niedbała, 1987
(specimen from Reefton, East Warburton, 29.IX.1982), prodorsum, lateral view. Scale bars 100 µm (A, B, E), 50 µm (C, D).
Material examined
. Vic. Errinundra Plateau,

,
148o53’E
,
Goonmirk Roks
Rd.
Podocarp litter, NMY
Survey
,
November 1982
(
6 specimens
).
Remarks
. The specimens from Goonmirk have the same characters as the
holotype
, but the notogastral setae are longer than in specimens from
Tasmania
(Niedbała 2006). Setae
c
1 are slightly more remote from anterior margin. Furthermore some specimens have more notogastral setae (19 or 20) and more adanal setae (six pairs) (
Fig. 8B
).

, leg. G Milledge (
3 specimens

Remarks
. The specimens have femur I with setae
d
bifurcated and setae

situated on posterior side of setae

. I suppose that fig XLII,

Niedbała 1987 is incorrect.
