" Maxilla with galea and lacinia largely fused; erect setae among pubescence of upper surface; metendosternite with elongate oblique arms, without lamina; elytra with pattern of light and dark patches " (ex Crowson 1966 ). Biology. Adults were collected by Crowson (1966 : 123) " in Leucopogon flowers and on male catkins of the introduced Pinus insignis . Adults were also found under loose bark of a dead Hoheria ." [...] " Adults doubtless feed on pollen, as shown by the gut-contents of a dissected specimen; the breeding sites are probably somewhere about dead trees... " Crowson (1966) . Distribution.
