Type material.

Syntypes of Epeira mamillana Keyserling, 1887: 3 females, Sydney [33°53'S, 151°13'E, New South Wales, AUSTRALIA), Museum Godeffroy (ZMH Rack (1961) -catalog 251); 2 females, same data (BMNH 1890.7.1.4151-2) (all examined).

Remarks.

The syntype females of Epeira mamillana agree with the genus-specific characterisation as detailed above, including the characteristic shape of the carapace and humeral and posterior humps of the abdomen (Fig. 2A) and the morphology of the epigyne (Figs 2B, C). The species is therefore transferred to Acroaspis , A. mamillana (Keyserling, 1887), comb. n.
