was taken from a spring at the source of a first order tributary streamlet near the crest of the northern ridge of the main Cloudy Mountain massif, lying south of the Sagarai River, which in turn drains eastward into Orangerie Bay. The insects were only found in the immediate vicinty of the source spring, which lay at the base of a set of wet bedrock faces. The stream profile descended steeply from here through a set of small waterfalls, rapids and flowing pools, with the entire area heavily shaded by relatively intact upland rain forest, in which just a few trees had been removed for local construction of shelters from the frequent rain showers at this elevation.
