Tesserodon granulatus Matthews, 1974
Tesserodon granulatum Matthews, 1974: 82 View in CoL , 85–86, fig. 10, 86. Name-bearing type: Female holotype by original designation in the Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO, Canberra, Australia ( Matthews 1974; Storey 1991). See Matthews (1974) for information on the three paratypes. Type locality: Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock), southern Northern Territory, Australia ( Matthews 1974; Storey 1991). Remarks: Storey (1991) listed the holotype in his material examined as a male, even though simultaneously remarking, correctly, that Matthews, who also examined the specimen, had had access only to females of the species. Indeed, Matthews (1974) sexed the holotype as a female, and this is accepted here. Storey’s incorrect sexing was likely a bookkeeping error.
Distribution: From the northwestern coast of Western Australia to the southern region of the state and central Northern Territory, Australia ( Matthews 1974; Storey 1991). The Atlas of Living Australia (2024) records from South Australia need confirmation.
