  Type data:

   Holotype AM ♀ (coll.: iv.1960, M. Day), Ingham, Queensland.

 

Introduction

This species was described from 10 females taken in a light trap at Ingham, Queensland, in April 1960 by M. Day. The JW Evans collection contains five females matching these data and which are presumed to be paratypes, the "type" having been deposited in AM. A single male specimen which appears to be this species has been collected in North Queensland, and differs from the brown females by being entirely black.
