Type data:
Holotype AM K40943, KS8190 ♀ adult, Jarrahdale, WA (description and label on specimen state 'Jarrahdale Road, Armadale' but introduction states collected 'near Jarrahdale' further along the Armadale/Jarrahdale Road; therefore type locality restricted here to 'Jarrahdale').Secondary source:
