13 April 2011 - Murray J. Fletcher

 

Introduction

This subspecies is from the Atherton Tableland in the wet tropics of North Queensland and is therefore well isolated from P/ smithi lamingtoni Woodward from the Lamington Plateau of SE Queensland. The two subspecies can be differentiated on the basis of features of the male genitalia.

IBRA and IMCRA regions (map not available)

IBRA

Periandrial lobes smaller and relatively narrow; apical part of harpagones more curved, subbasal lobe larger, more broadly rounded (Woodward 1957). These features are illustrated for both subspecies by Woodward (1957, figs 3–4).
