Distributional note
Womersley (2003: 146) notes that either this is a very rare or extinct species in Tasmania, or very occasional drift specimens reach here from New Zealand; the latter appears unlikely in view of the distance and the delicate nature of the species. - (27 January 2009) - G.M. Guiry
