There appears to be only one-other ACT record of this species of Robber-fly within the records of the Atlas of Living Australia

Not all specimens of all species of insects in all Australian collections are in ALA. For example, if ANIC has records in ALA they are few and far between. The Australian species are in drastic need of revision and when this is done, I'm sure the ACT specimens will not be the same species as those from Tasmania.
