Western Australian samples tend to be smaller (HW down to 1.20 mm, or even slightly less), the striation is more extensive on the sides of the posterior trunk, and the petiolar node is thinner and more distinctly emarginate, thus raising the question as to whether the western populations may not represent a species separate from

. The samples vary so widely one to the next that I feel such a separation would be premature. This is a question that needs much more material. Present western series available: Toodyay, A. Douglas; Northam, P. McMillan; Mullewa, W. M. Wheeler. AH of the localities appear to lie in zones now agriculturally modified, but originally in dry sclerophyll woodland or mallee.
