Is this huntsman endemic to ACT ?

I. canberrana is found outside of the ACT as well, they're up near Yass and down near Cooma too

I. canberrana has a pretty decently sized distribution, as far south as Omeo VIC & as far north as Yarrowitch in NE NSW, so a fair bit of cross over with a few very similar species, makes ID'ing Isopeda in NSW with certainty very difficult. Luckily this is the only species of Isopeda in the ACT, makes ID'ing these guys easier :D
