Melophorus bruneus was described by McAreavey in 1949. The itemization of the type material for this species on page 235 under ‘Descriptions’ was as follows:

‘Types Holotype minor worker carded with paratype major worker and queen on top card, and paratype major worker and paratype minor worker of bottom card, all on same pin, also paratype major, minor and media workers and queens on two other pins, Nyngan New South Wales [ANIC] (examined: ANIC specimens ANIC32-05344).’ This itemization is incorrect. For some unaccountable reason males on both the holotype pin and one of the two paratype pins were apparently mistaken for minor workers. There is also a small typographical error (‘of bottom card’ should read ‘on bot- tom card’). The correct itemization should be:
