| Comment | Original description based on a single specimen. |
| Etymology | Named after Yirrkala Mission – the original author spelt the locality erroneously as Yirrkala Mission in the paper; note that the Code considers the name, as originally spelt as valid (unless the criteria of Article 32.5 apply, which requires evidence in the original publication itself of an inadvertent error). |
