Philotarsopsis guttata . --- Lienhard and Smithers, 2002: 335. Latrobiella lemsidia Thornton and New. Cole et al., 1989: 34.

Material examined. Many individuals collected from January to July.

Distribution. Tasmania, Bass Strait Is, all mainland states (except Northern Territory) and New Zealand.

Remarks. This species was collected mainly in dry and wet forests with an understorey of sclerophyllous shrubs. Examination of the material recorded as Latrobiella lemsidia from the Bass Strait Is ( Cole et al., 1989) shows this material to be conspecific with Victorian and Tasmanian specimens of Philotarsopsis guttata .
