NOTE

The species was described on the basis of a single specimen from Broken Bay in New South Wales, Australia ( LIS 1999b). In the paper ( LIS 1999b) I regarded the specimens recorded from Australia ( MUSGRAVE 1946, CHADWICK 1966) and identified as Stibaropus molginus (SCHIØDTE) as belonging to the new species (based only on their descriptions given in the mentioned papers). Thanks to the kindness of the curator of Heteroptera at ASCT I have had a possibility to examine those specimens personally (along with other unidentified material), and herein I confirm my previous decision.
