Leptomithrax gaimardii (H. Milne Edwards, 1834)

Labeled "Leptomithrax spinulosus Haswell, Tasmanie, type, Tasmanie, det. and date Haswell 1882." The label indicating "Haswell 1882" is from the RBINS and not written by the hand of Haswell; so the date 1882 is dubious. It is likely that the 3 specimens (which are males) are syntypes of Leptomithrax spinulosus Haswell, 1880 (which is a junior synonym of Leptomithrax gaimardii (H. Milne Edwards, 1834)). Anyway the specimen is really topotypical. The identification was verified by C. d'Udekem d'Acoz on 30.11.2016 in using the handbook of Poore (2004).
