Type material.

Holotype of Epeira lancearia Keyserling, 1887: male, Sydney [33°53'S, 151°13'E, New South Wales, AUSTRALIA), Museum Godeffroy (ZMH Rack (1961) -catalog 247) (examined).

Remarks.

The holotype male of Epeira lancearia displays the typical features of Acroaspis as detailed above, including the genus-specific characters of the male pedipalp (Fig. 1B) and the elevated abdomen (Fig. 1A). The species is therefore here transferred to Acroaspis, A. lancearia (Keyserling, 1887), comb. n.
