A new species for NatureMapr and NatureMapr's Canberra and Southern Tablelands region. An apparently rare or uncommon species with only one other sighting from life on the ALA. But according to BOLD (Hobern), see WendyEM's post (above), there are at least three other records in SE NSW as ANIC specimens. An excellent photo.
