Figs 2F, 4B, 5B, 7C, 7D, 8A Holotype. Male, O'Reillys , Lamington National Park, Qld, 28°14'S , 153°08'E +/- 2 km, 22-27 November 1978, J. Lawrence and T. Weir, ANIC berlesate 655, rainforest litter, ANIC 64-000216. Paratypes. ANIC: 12 males, details as for holotype, 64-000217. Other material. None. Diagnostic description. As for Asticopyrgodesmus maiala sp. n., differing in the following details (see also Figs 2F, 4B): Males with head + 20 rings (females not yet recognised). Paranota (Fig. 5B) extending further laterally than in Asticopyrgodesmus maiala sp. n., anterior edge lower than posterior edge, declined at ca 60°. Ozopores on porosteles on rings 5, 7, 9, 12, 15 only. Gonopod telopodite (Figs 7C, 7D, 8A) divided distally into three branches: (a) basal branch posteriorly directed, mediolaterally flattened, apically with broad, gently convex margin; (b) solenomere rod-like, medial, tapering to point, posteriorly directed at base and abruptly bent posterolaterally; (c) laterodistal branch directed posterolaterally, subdivided into two mediolaterally flattened processes directed posteriorly with wide, U-shaped gap between, the lateral process larger, both processes tapering to rounded apex.

Setation not shown; dashed line indicates course of prostatic groove. Drawings not to same scale. Distribution. So far known only from rainforest at the type locality in southeastern Queensland (Fig. 11). Co-occurs with Asticopyrgodesmus maiala sp. n. Etymology. For Lamington National Park, the type locality; adjective. Remarks. This species very closely resembles Asticopyrgodesmus maiala sp. n., but differs most obviously in ring number.
