Taxon Notes:	Made non-active and superseded by Malthopsis apis (37 212037) based on re-identification of QM voucher specimen (QM I 34431, ex QM I 18798) by Ho & Last 2021. This voucher specimen was not originally listed in CAAB and discovered through CSIRO data and the history of QM database identifications in July 2022. The NORFANZ specimen listed as a CSIRO catch record seems to be erroneously attached to this record as that specimen (CSIRO H 6031-01) is now Malthopsis parva (37 212050).
