Clynotis viduus View in CoL — Dunn 1951: 15 (redescription); Żabka 1987: 444, figs 14–21 (redescription, synonymy of C. viduus View in CoL and C. albopictus View in CoL ); Davies & Żabka 1989: 256, pl. 56 (illustrated).

Clynotis severus View in CoL — Żabka 1991b: 22 (synonymy of C. severus View in CoL and C. viduus View in CoL ).

Remarks. The species is well illustrated in Davies & Żabka (1989) (as C. viduus ). The species is common and widespread across a wide variety of habitats throughout Australia, including Tasmania ( Fig. 86 View FIGURES 77 – 86 ) and consequently its IUCN status would be LC. It is found on foliage and in litter. Here I give only illustrations ( Figs 77–85 View FIGURES 77 – 86 ) of general morphology and genitalia for purposes of comparison with Pungalina (see below).
