Seems to a good match to photos of the species on the ALA. Apparently an alpine species in the ACT, accordng to the Australian Faunal Directory the holotype of this species came from Mt Kosciusko, New South Wales. It has also been recorded ia Tasmania and central Victoria (see the ALA). It is not included in the sample of species on Bold Systems 4.
