Distributional note
Womersley (1998) notes that there are specimens from Fremantle, W. Aust., collected by Clifton (July 1858) and Kiama, N.S.W. in B.M. but that Millar & Kraft (1993: 41) comment on absence of any other N.S.W. records, and that both these records need verification. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
