Data based on the original descriptions of each species and the interpretations in this study. Legends: ‘+’ present; ‘-’ absent; “gr.” number of mac in the group. Data based on the original descriptions of each species and the interpretations in this study. Remarks. The distribution of all Australotomurus species is presented in Fig. 8; the genus was recorded from continental Australia and Tasmania (Greenslade 2021). Further details on their morphology are listed in Mari-Mutt & Greenslade (1985) and Greenslade & Jordana (2014).
