Cafius sabulosus Fauvel 1877
Taxon discussion.
Cafius sabulosus
was originally described from Sydney, Australia. In the phylogeny of
Jeon et al. (2012)
,
Cafius sabulosus
was based on a specimen from Australia and formed a monophyletic group with
Cafius algophilus
Broun, 1894 from New Zealand. Similarly with
Cafius nauticus
(see above), in the revised classification of
Jeon et al. (2012)
Cafius sabulosus
and
Cafius algophilus
were placed as incertae sedis within the '
Cafius
-
complex'
. According to
Newton and Thayer (2005)
Cafius sabulosus
is also
recorded
from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Lord Howe Island.
