Introduction
This widespread species was recorded by Bellis et al. (2013) from localities across the top end of Australia from Kununurra in northern Western Australia to the Wet Tropics of North Queensland with three males collected in the cool climate region of the South Eastern Highlands of Victoria. The species is somewhat variable across its range.
