Had a look at ala for this species. 24 records! One from Kmart in Tuggeranong… December 1962☹️ .

Had a look at specimens (approx. 20) of this sp. at ANIC this morning, a few from our own Kimberi Pullen, from the Tuggeranong hill area back in 1973 (no Kmart ). Dirt tracks to Tuggers in those days!

It was Barker, Dr Shelley from SA museum who did a swish-and-collect at ‘Kmart’ 2/12/62🙂 on Casuarina stricta. Got to love Ala. this record only just loaded September 2021.
