"The type specimen has been dissected by the original describer and the genitalia are mounted with the specimen. The greatly enlarged volsellae are typical of those found in Anthoglossa species and the type specimen was indistinguishable from an undescribed species of Anthoglossa commonly found in the Avon wheatbelt area of Western Australia. Males of this undescribed species have been collected with females having tridentate mandibles and other characteristics of Anthoglossa species).
