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.
