However, it lacks polygonal reticulation on the head between the eyes, the male has no fore tarsal tooth and the pore plate on sternite VIII of males is incomplete medially ( Fig. 29 ). The two species are equally widespread across Australia , and at a few localities they have been taken together. The holotype of taylori was collected from litter on Black Mountain , Canberra , but specimens have been seen from leaf litter at various localities in eastern New South Wales , including Norfolk Island , also southeastern Queensland , South Australia including Kangaroo Island , Tasmania and southwestern Western Australia. This species has also been taken in both North and South Islands of New Zealand .
