Camanastus australis Roewer, 1949a View in CoL , p. 20, fig. 21a–d (pl. 3).

Record. *Hatzfeldhafen, [Madang, Papua New Guinea].

Remarks. Originally in Phalangodidae , new familial assignment. The dimensions of the bulla are not sufficient to distinguish Camanastus from Zalmoxis , and it closely resembles Zalmoxis in every other respect. Preliminary molecular sequence data of Paleotropical Zalmoxidae suggest that Camanastus is nested within Zalmoxis , which would render Zalmoxis paraphyletic (Sharma & Giribet, unpublished results). We therefore synonymize Camanastus with Zalmoxis .
