Material examined. Western Australia. 1 /0/0, Mc Kenzie Spring, Millstream-Chichester NP, 21 º 20 ’ 17.52 ” S 117 º 12 ’ 37.79 ” E, 17 -viii- 1994.

Remarks. The male from this study is a bit larger (L/W 1568 / 1206, dorsal plate L/W 1407 / 884), but matches the description of Lundblad (1947) well. Previously known only from one male from New South Wales.
