Remarks. Known from several disjunct localities (McInnes 1994) suggesting a species complex. Murray (1913) described several differences between his African samples and those from the type locale (Australia) concluding that the African examples were, “possibly a distinct species”. These comments and more recently described African conspecifics suggests the presence of this taxon in Africa needs confirmation.
