Identification

Simon's (1909d) species descriptions are in Latin and rather schematic. A large species (male total length 15 mm, female 15-18 mm).

Distribution

McKay (1985b) list 'SW coastal, S Gulfs, SE coastal, NE coastal, W.A., Vic., N.S.W., S.A., Qld.' However, he stated the 'whereabouts of the types unknown' and may have never examined these to confirm the identity of his records.
