Hi all, this is a species that I was kindly given a specimen of by Stuart Harris. The occurrence of this species as far north as the ACT was not known to me before, so these are excellent records indeed. Well done Stuart & Co.! The bulk of my collection is destined to be given to the Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC), part of the CSIRO in Canberra. It is a species that I have never seen alive and would very much like to photograph alive myself if any further specimens are found.
