For description see MacFarlan and Campbell (2003).

This species is common in the latest Otapirian and earliest Aratauran of the Taylors Creek – Otapiri section in the Hokonui Hills (Southland Syncline). There are also a few records in the late Otapirian in other Murihiku Terrane sections ( MacFarlan 2019). This study has added a few further records which are listed in Appendix 1.
