Description

Amenia longicornis (Malloch)

As showninPart 1, the species comprises two fairly distinct geographic forms: an eastern one, found around the head of Spencer Gulf and north through the Flinders Ranges to the MacDonnell ranges of the Northern Territory, and a western one in places west of about 135° longitude. Although qualifying as geographic subspecies, I see no point in naming them formally.

Two specimens from the Flinders Ranges were reared from snails of the species Sinumelon hawkerana Solem (Camaenidae) (near Jonburgh, SouthAustralia, M. Newton, 27 May 1992)
