Published data ( Tarmann 2004; Kallies, Mollet & Young 2018)

Material examined ( Table 13). Victoria. Holotype: ♁ ( Figs 185, 189 ), Beaconsfield , 23.II.1904, ( MVM).

Discussion and differential diagnosis. The two species Pollanisus isolatus and P. hyacinthus are very similar. The most significant differences between these species are in the head ratios, the male antenna and in the colour of the abdomen ( Kallies, Mollet & Young 2018).

Phenology and bionomics. Nothing is known about the biology and the larval host plant.
