  Type data:

   Syntype(s) BPBM ♀, quantity unknown (coll.: ii.1905, Koebele), Sydney, New South Wales.

Introduction

A pale yellow species from the Sydney region. Fennah (1965) notes that the "type-specimen" is missing from BPBM but Kirkaldy (1907) states "I have seen females only" indicating that more than one specimen was available to him, all of them females. Fennah (1965) had a topotypic male collected by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle but only provided figures of the head.
