Well done Derek! Would you mind emailing me regards some details of the sighting? Have been keeping records of this particular species for some years now....

Unfortunately will not be able to visit Booroomba rocks (track) this season, where the original 'population'(and holotype) was discovered. Good to have another sighting/location within the ACT. This species has now been found in various parts of NSW, TAS and VIC. My record at the Grampians is the furthest west record to my knowledge...
