Remarks. This species, which appears to have been transported by human agency (Smithers, 1972), is known in Australia only from Tasmania. Interestingly, the majority of specimens collected in this study were taken from two sites of huon pine (Lagarostrobos franklanii), which is usually found along riverbanks and is endemic to southwestern Tasmania.
