Comments

The only record of this species listed in Atlas of Living Australia (accessed 19 Jan 2019) at Lizard Island is from a rotenone station in 1974. The specimen was identified by Gerry Allen in 1974 and is in the WA Museum. There have been no records of the species by LIRS researchers since then. Allen and Erdmann (2012) do not list Australia within the distribution of the species. It appears that the 1974 specimen was misidentified and it seems unlikely that the species occurs in the Lizard Island area.
