  Type data:

   Syntype(s) BMNH sex, quantity unknown (coll.: F.P. Dodd), Kuranda, Queensland.

Introduction

As with many of the species described by Distant (1907), this species was simply located from Queensland. However, the type material was collected by F.P. Dodd who did most of his collecting in the wet tropics of North Queensland (Monteith 1991) and it is probable that the type material originated in this region.
