This is a new species for Canberra Natute Map if confirmed.
Records online (LBH) and the ALA and on Bold Systems 4 suggest this species has previously been recoreded in Victoria and Tasmania,
So this record for Mongarlowe (NSW) may be an extension of the known range of the species.
This emphaszies the imprtance of sampling species widely in our region.
This is a well marked high quality image of the species showing darker colouring than for most species seen online.
