Significant sighting
User's notes
Single large female on hilltop in vegetation derived from what I think was box gum woodland or dry forest. Vegetation may ha included Austrostipa densiflora and Rytidosperma pallida. Uphill from what was probably natural temperate grassland. On private property, Nanima.

There are a number of old records from the Murrumbateman area so its not unsurprisong that this cryptic species still exits out there and there is so much suitable grassland thats never been surveyed
