Comment by Kim Pullen "There appear to be no specimens of this species in the Australian National Insect Collection, and it may be undescribed. It looks related to Rhytiphora simsoni (a Tasmanian endemic) and possibly R. vermicularia. I have called it Rhytiphora 'Wyanbene' for the time being, alluding to the locality where it has been found."

And I notice that Stuart also has a sighting from the same location a year earlier than this one. What a find!
