Discussion and differential diagnosis.Pollanisus hyacinthus
,
P. isolatus
,
P. cyanota
and
P. calliceros
can be distinguished by the differences in their head ratios (
Table 17
).
Phenology and bionomics.
Nothing is known about the larval host plant. Males are active in day time (
Kallies, Mollet & Young 2018
). The only known habitats are in coastal heath of southern Kangaroo Island (
