Fourteen species had 30 or fewer individual site records in the ANHAT database
(Table 163). This is a relatively low percentage of species with few records. Three of
these species are classified as threatened (including one species classified as
endangered). There are few species on this list and none of the species appear to be
located in northern Australia. The range areas are all smaller than 2000 km 2 .
Exclusion of these poorly recorded species eliminates 229 records.
