Remarks. The species can be identified in the keys by Vikhrev (2012a, 2016). Habitus illustrated by Vikhrev (2012a, figs 6 and 8). It belongs to the pumila -group of Lispe , characterized by dorsocentrals 2+4, the 4 anterior ones short; fore tibia without median seta; mid tibia with 1 posterodorsal; hind tibia with 1 anteroventral and 1 anterodorsal; meron with setulae above hind coxa; pulvillus small (Vikhrev 2016). In a more recent revision of the Australian species of Lispe by Pont (2019), the species was keyed and fully redescribed, and characters of the male and female terminalia were illustrated ( Pont 2019, figs 473–480).
