Comments: Reported to occur in Lord Howe Island, Elizabeth Reef, Middleton Island, and Norfolk Island (Ref. 13227). The picture by Shane Griffith and voucher specimens (lodged in AMS) is not of E. rufopileus, but of E. atrogulare and have been identified as such. The occurence of E. rufopileus on the central coast of NSW (as claimed by Kuiter in Ref. 9002) cannot be verified through AMS specimens (Sascha Schulz, pers.comm. 08/2007).
