Nothing is known of the biology of the species, however label data associated with specimens indicates that is was collected in leaf litter of a variety of bush and tree species. The somewhat smaller eyes, distinctly depigmented body and fully reduced wings indicate that

The genus seems to also present in Tasmania, New Zealand and New Caledonia but this will be investigated further in our forthcoming generic revision of the subtribe. The weakly defined sinuate suture on the gula characteristic for the new species from LHI is also found in at least two undescribed species of
