Engaeus urostrictus
Keith A. CrandallTypes
Holotype, Museum of Victoria, Melbourne J902 (female); paratypes, Museum of Victoria, Melbourne 911 and J11619 (4 female, male).Distribution
This species has been found in the Dandenong Ranges, east of Melbourne. Its occurence near Mt. Donna Buang is odd and the eastward extension of its range is in need of clarification. It is not likely to be found west of Mt. Dandenong.Habitat
The habitat utilisations and seperations for the three species E. urostrictus, E. tuberculatus, and Euastacus woiwuru Morgan are described in detail in Horwitz et al. (1985a) and summarised in Horwitz & Richardon (1986).References
