Extra Ecological Information
Hawkeswood & Peterson (1982) recorded this species' larval hosts as Callitris endlicheri and C. huegelii after Hadlington & Gardner (1959); French (1911) and Pescott (1932) recorded the introduced Cupressus macrocarpa var. lambertiana; French (1911) speculated this species might also utilize Acacia aneura and Hawkeswood & Peterson (1982) added Callitris columellaris; Hawkeswood (1988) summarized the previous notes on this species and added C. glaucophylla.
