This species from Western Australia is distinguished from the eastern Australian species reedi only by the longer antennae ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 21–30 ) and more clearly capitate major setae. It was described from a single female collected at Manjimup, but a further male and female have since been collected from Dwellingup. The pelta ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 37–43 ) is similar to that of acti .
Diagnosis. Apterous, weakly bicoloured with head and thorax paler than brown abdomen, legs brownish yellow; head longer than wide, scarcely projecting in front of eyes, vertex smooth medially except near posterior margin, maxillary stylets retracted to eyes and close together ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 10–15 ); maxillary palp segment I 2.5 times as long as wide, segment II rather shorter with stout terminal sensorium; eyes well developed dorsally but small ventrally with only 4–5 visible ommatidia; postocellar finely acute, postocular setae capitate. Pronotal am setae short and acute, the other 4 pairs long and capitate; notopleural sutures incomplete. Metanotum reticulate, with about 8 minor setae anteromedially. Pelta broad with truncate apex; tergites III–VI with about 20 small discal setae in transverse row, wing-retaining setae minute; tergite IX setae capitate and shorter than tube. Male with fore tarsal tooth.
