Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from other Australian species by the presence of an internal strut of the pygofer, the long curved apical process of the paramere, the well developed internal ridging of the subgenital plate and the presence of a prominent heel at the base of the aedeagus where it meets the connective.
Distribution. Australia (NSW, NT, Qld), China
Note: The widespread distribution of this species across northern Australia may mean it occurs naturally in the region and its presence in China indicates it is probably present in much of Southeastern Asia.
