There is insufficient material from these two localities to assess morphological variation and to determine whether or not they can be placed within the described species, but clearly congeneric, they extend the known distribution of the solanaceous-inhabiting psyllids to southern Queensland (a distance of
300 km
north of previous records), and to far-north Queensland (a distance of
1,500 km
north of previous records). Host data for the former is considered unlikely given that it is not
Solanaceae
, and that the method of collection was not stated. These records have been excluded from the distribution records as presented in
