Significant sighting

12 Feb 2025
A new species for NatureMapr and NatureMapr's Canberra and Southern Tablelands region. Interestingly LBH gives the distribution of this species as 'Queensland and WA', and records on both iNaturalist and the ALA bear this out showing records clustered strongly in SE Qld and Northern NSW, with no records in SE Australia. Therefore this is possibly an important sighting showing range extension.
