Full descriptions of this species from
Japan
were given by
Okajima (1993
;
2006
), who recorded it from Honshu and the associated Izu Islands. The species has been found widely in rainforest areas of eastern Queensland, between Cairns and Cooloola, and two specimens have been studied from
Malaysia
,
Kuala Lumpur
. It is closely similar in colour and structure to the new species
darumbali
and
yagara
described here from
Australia
, apart from the very small SB2 setae on tergite IX of females (this seta absent in males), and one long sub-basal seta on the fore wing. In these character states it is similar to the new species
erubi
, but has the tube far less “heavy”, with the margins less convex and almost straight (
Fig. 2
).
