Distribution and occurrence:
NSW subdivisions: NWS
Other Australian states: Qld
Threatened species: NSW BCA: Presumed Extinct
This species is possibly extinct in New South Wales. It is only known from a single, old specimen, collected in 1844, and other unvouchered records for the state have not been verified. So this species is considered data-deficient by Saving our Species (SoS, DPIE) which means a conservation project cannot be developed for it. Visit their website and contact SoS if you have additional information.
