Remarks. Raveniella hickmani is a distinctive, dark brown species of Raveniella, found in moss, leaf litter and low-growing ferns in the temperate rainforests of Victoria and Tasmania. It is usually much less common than R. luteola, with which it can sometimes be found in sympatry (M. Rix, pers. obs.).
