(Figs 6, 10)

This species is common in south-eastern Australia, and has been taken infrequently in New Zealand, but only in North Island. It has been found breeding only within the seed capsules of the common myrtaceous shrub, Kunzea ericoides that is sometimes referred to both as Leptospermum ericoides and as Baeckea phylicoides . Adults however have been taken in low numbers from various other plants ( Mound & Walker 1986), suggesting that these adults are dispersive in their behavior.
