Scirtes exoletus Waterhouse 1880

Description

Scirtes exoletus Waterhouse, 1880

Notes. A very widespread, quite common species found in all states and mainland territories of Australia. Specimens from the Northern Territory, New South Wales and Victoria were identical in the genes sequenced; however, the specimen from Wongabel on the Atherton Tableland of North Queensland differed by 7.2% (pdistance) for COI, potentially indicative of a separate species.
