Remarks
.
The type specimens of this species are in very poor condition (see
Fig. 72
), especially the
paratype
female, in which the epigyne has been damaged due to partial dissection. Daulo Pass (the type locality) and Mount Otto (recorded in
Forster 1959
) are situated in mountainous regions of Papua New Guinea’s
Eastern Highlands
, at altitudes of over 2,200 metres.
