Distribution
This taxon was described from Australia.

Description
Brown (1975) provided the following: This species, still known only from the type series from Bungulla, Western Australia, is a unicolorous, yellowish red, or ferruginous yellow, described by Clark as "castaneous." The sculpture is rather loose and coarse and generally fairly strongly shining, and the middle of the posterodorsal petiolar margin bears a small but sharp and uptilted tooth. The standing hairs are dark, coarse and long, up to 0.18 mm long on some dorsal surfaces. The antennae, mandibles, and legs are no darker in color than the rest of the body.
