Internal genitalia with dense cluster of ≤ 15 variably shaped spermathecae on either side of gonopore, clusters meeting near midline of genital plate (Fig. 15G); innermost (anterior) spermathecae longest, sausage-shaped, curved antero-laterally; outermost (posterior) spermathecae bulbous; other spermathecae variably pyriform, straight, directed antero-laterally.

is known from rainforest habitats on the Blackall and Conondale Ranges of south-eastern Queensland, in the Conondale National Park, Mapleton Forest Reserve and in the region surrounding Maleny/Montville (Fig. 33). A juvenile specimen from Oakview State Forest (near Gympie) may also belong to this species based on proximity.
