Taxonomy: The senior author has examined the lectotype and allotype (NMW), and specimens of both sexes determined by Schedl and Browne (BMNH). The species has to be transferred to the genus Crossotarsus . It is closely related to Crossotarsus imitatrix (Schedl) .

Distribution: Recorded only from the island of New Guinea.

Biology: Recorded from fire-damaged trees of Araucaria cunninghami (Araucariaceae) and Eucalyptus torelliana (Myrtaceae) ( Wylie & Shanahan 1976), and Pometia pinnata (Sapindaceae) ( Roberts 1980). Roberts (1980) notes that the pupae are parasitised by larvae of Sosylus silius (Hinton) ( Coleoptera : Colydiidae ).
