Type data:
Holotype QM T12690 ♂ (coll.: 8-9.iv.1966, T. Weir), New England National Park, via Ebor, New South Wales.
Introduction
This species is bright green in life and appears to be associated with higher altitudes than other species of the genus although it may reflect a preference for cooler conditions since the Tasmanian records are coastal. The species may also have an association with Leptospermum (Myrtaceae) species since they have been collected from this genus in both the New England region of New South Wales and in Tasmania.
