reported observations by T.V. Bourke that “the male, which has greatly enlarged antennal clubs, flies actively and seeks out females as they emerge from the ground. The female apparently releases a pheromone that attracts males to her vicinity. Females rarely fly and, hence, are less well represented in collections than males”. This antennal structure and behaviour appear to be typical of
