Bothriembryon decresensis Cotton 1940: 40; B.J. Smith 1992: 105.
Type locality.
[South Australia] "Cape Cassini, Kangaroo Island".
Label.
"Cape Cassini / K.I."
Dimensions.
"height 16 mm., width 10 mm"; holotype H 15.5, D 10.37, W 4.7.
Type material.
SAMA D13773, holotype; SAMA D15588, 26 paratypes.
Remarks.
We tentatively follow the opinion of B.J. Smith (1992) that this taxon is synonymous with Bothriembryon mastersi (Cox, 1867). However, a more detailed study should corroborate this view.
Current systematic position.
Bothriembryontidae, Bothriembryon mastersi (Cox, 1867).
