Remarks

Burr originally determined this specimen as Anisolabis brunneri (Dohrn, 1864) (see Burr 1908). The type of A. brunneri is male and located in the British Museum of Natural History, London. In Burr (1911), he states that all listed specimens in above-mentioned publication are in fact Anisolabis westralica Burr, 1911 . Later on, he declares the specimen collected by Commander J. J. Walker R. N. in Albany as holotype ( Burr 1912a). However, based on Steinmann (1989), the female specimen in Hamburg may be the holotype.
