Talk:Adelium

Distribution

• Australia
• ?New Zealand [adventive: doubtfully established]
  • Species (0-1): ?A. brevicorne
    
  • NOTE: A. brevicorne
    was listed by Macfarlane et al. (2010: 427) without any indication of doubt regarding its establishment in New Zealand. The genus Adelium was indicated as 'D = doubtfully established in New Zealand' by Leschen et al. (2003: 23), so in the absence of any evidence to indicate that this doubt can now be safely removed, I maintain the question mark for both genus and species
