This species is known from Lamington and Mt Tambourine, two rainforest localities south of Brisbane, Queensland, breeding in curled leaf-galls on Scolopia braunii [ Flacourtiaceae ]. It is unusual within the genus in having the proternal basantra well-developed, and in having a number of minor setae on the anterior half of the metanotum.
