[2] [3] George Hudson discussed and illustrated the species under this name in 1939. [4] In 1988 John S. Dugdale reinstated the genus Phaeosaces and assigned P. lindsayae to it. [3] This species was named in honour of its first collector Mrs Jean Lindsay. [2] The holotype specimen is held at the Canterbury Museum. [3]
