Aspidiobatella smola Cook, 1986

Material examined. Victoria. 0/1/0, Staevenson River at Ackneamen Bridge, 37°27.914 S 145°44.160 E, 315 m asl, 22-ii-2024 GoogleMaps . New South Wales. 1/1/0, Leatherbarrel Creek , interstitial, crossing Alpine Way, Kosciuszko NP, 36°31.523 S 148°11.626 E, 975 m asl, 10-ii-2024 GoogleMaps .

Distribution. New South Wales, Queensland. Reported here for the first time for Victoria.

Remarks. The females from this study are teneral specimen, without the development of the dorsal plates. However, there is a tendency visible for the forming of plates and platelets. Due to the shifting of the glandularia of Cx-IV well up onto Cx-III it is possible to identify the specimens.
