Comments.

Elasmus ero emma was previously only known from Capella in central Queensland, but the type subspecies Elasmus ero ero has previously been recorded from Bunbury in southern Western Australia ( Riek 1967). Some minor variation in colour pattern is visible in the available specimens: the specimen collected in November 2009 has the fore coxae almost entirely dark, as well as more extensive dark coloration of the dorsum of the gaster, with transverse dark stripes on the posterior margins of segments 4 on.
