Abstract

The known range of Eulamprus frerei is extended approximately 110 km north-northwest to Mt Lewis (16.510°S, 145.269°E) on the Mt Carbine Tableland, North Queensland. This record is from 200 m lower than the reported minimum elevation for the species. Despite extensive surveys throughout the Australian Wet Tropics, this is the frst record for E. frerei outside the Bellenden Ker Range. Additional details are given for a previously reported record from Mt Bellenden Ker.
