Valid name Neurogalesus carinatus Kieffer, 1907 . Summary of types Holotype ♀ , BMNH number 9.673, by monotypy. Primary type data Type; Mackay/ 3.01; Queensland ./ R .E.Turner./ 1907-94 ; Neurogalesus / carinatus ♀ / type . Kieff./ named by/ J.J.Kieffer. Type locality Australia , Queensland , Mackay. Remarks This species was described from an unspecified number of females; however, Kieffer describes the scutellum as “vorn beschädigt”, i.e., damaged in front, a rather unusual thing to say. The specimen recognised as the type has been pinned at exactly this point, destroying the basal scutellar pit. Had Kieffer seen any other specimens it is likely they would not have been damaged in precisely this place and he would have described the distinctive bifoveate scutellar pit, so it is considered that he saw only this specimen; hence it is a holotype by monotypy. The holotype is micropinned through the mesosoma and has the head missing. Despite what Kieffer says about its resemblance to a Galesus , this species belongs to the Spilomicrini .
