Material examined ( Table 6 ). Queensland . 1 ♁ ( Figs 77, 84 ), Evelyn Scrub , I.1911 ( ANIC ) . Discussion and differential diagnosis . The head ratio data of the specimen from Evelyn Scrub ( Table 6 ) is similar of those of Pollanisus species 3 and it could be conspecific. The specimen collected at a larval stage on Hibbertia synandra in the Paluma area ( Tarmann 2004 ) was not examined, but considering the strong attachment of Pollanisus species to their larval host plant in nature, this suggests that it could be a different species.
