This species is known only from Western Australia, Murchison River crossing, where it was found inducing woody galls on stems of Casuarina obesa . It represents the only known example of genitalic dimorphism among Thysanoptera , in that the phallotheca of winged males is almost 50% longer than the phallotheca of wingless males.
