originally described this species from two specimens, a male from Queensland (Brisbane) and a female from Lord Howe Island. He considered the two conspecific because of their agreement “of all general characters”. The female specimen that has been collected in our recent survey complies very closely with the original description, including colour characters of the head, pronotum, thoracic pleura and the forewing. As males of this species have yet to be collected from Lord Howe Island, the corroboration of conspecificity of the two populations cannot be made. Since this species is fully winged (in contrast with the aptery or submacroptery of other Lord Howe emesines), such a disjunct distribution remains plausible, and we therefore retain Wygodzinsky’s (1956) original conception of the species.
