Williams and Lachlan Copeland for drawing our attention to J. chappilliae. Thanks also go to Kelly Shepherd, Juliet Wege, Fred Hort, Mike Hislop, Ian Telford, Kym Brennan, Marco Duretto, G. Howell, Ryonen Butcher, Lorraine Cobb and Grace Lithgow for collection of specimens; to ANPWS for assistance with accessing J. divisa and J. remota; to Juliet Wege for examining types at M and to Paul Wilson for nomenclatural advice. Assistance with labelling of collections was given by Wilma Chappill, Anne Brearley, Lorraine Cobb, Gillian Craig, Rosemary Jasper, Marion Cambridge, Pauline Grierson, Bill Loneragan, Kelly Shepherd and John Wilkins, and extensive sorting of Jenny’s collections by Juliet Wege, Kelly Shepherd and Kevin Thiele (Biodiversity Conservation Initiative) was much appreciated. Sincere thanks are also given to Lorraine Cobb for the excellent illustrations and to Kelly Shepherd (Biodiversity Conservation Initiative) for editing of the scanned illustrations. David Morris provided molecular phylogenetic data.
