The collector of the Maits Rest and Phillips Road samples from December 1991 is not named on the ANIC sample labels, which I copied when labelling specimens sorted from ANIC mixed holdings. Museum Victoria personnel collected at Otway Ranges sites at various times between October 1991 and March 1992, but there are no MV samples from 24 or 25 December 1991 (K. Walker, pers. comm., 4

2011). The ANIC database also has no collection records for other taxa from these places and dates (B. Mantle, pers. comm., 4 March 2011). The most likely possibility is that an entomological collector, not from MV, coincidentally sampled in the Otway Ranges during the 1991 Christmas holiday period and deposited the material in ANIC.
