Distribution and biology

This species is currently recorded from the Atherton Tablelands in North Queensland (Fig. 6A), in the Einasleigh Upland Savanna bioregion. The specimens were collected in January, March, May, June, August and November; hence, the species may be present all year long. In Mareeba, Granite Gorge, all the specimens were collected from small trunks of Erythrophleum chlorostachys Baill. ( Fabaceae), which is the first recorded host plant of this species (Fig. 11).
