: figs 9a–d, 11a–d);
(3) anal tube of male oblong, with posterior margin rounded (
Constant 2018
: fig. 10b);
(4) centroventral part of gonostyli with long laminate process (
Constant 2018
: fig. 10a, c);
(5) laterodorsal part of gonostyli with hooked process directed lateroventrally (
Constant 2018
: fig. 10a, c–d);
(6) rather large size: 9.5–10 mm.

Distribution and biology
This species is currently recorded from the Atherton Tablelands in North
Queensland
(
Fig. 6A
), in the Einasleigh Upland Savanna bioregion. The specimens were collected in January, March, May, June, August and November; hence, the species may be present all year long. In Mareeba, Granite Gorge, all the specimens were collected from small trunks of
Erythrophleum chlorostachys
Baill.
(
Fabaceae
), which is the first recorded host plant of this species (
Fig. 11
).
