SYNONYMS: australis Roberts, 1933 ; barretti Roberts, 1949 ; curryi (Thomas, 1902); fitzsimonsi Roberts, 1938; melanurus (Rüppell, 1842); mülleri Roberts, 1938; nyikae (Thomas, 1902); saundersiae (Hewitt, 1927) ; vallicola Kershaw, 1924.

COMMENTS: Formerly included in crassicaudatus , see Gureev (1964:174) and Peddie (1975); see also Robinson and Dippenaar (1983a). The systematic relationships of the two widely disjunct populations should be examined (Duthie and Roberts, 1990).
