It is likely that this species will be found in suitable rainforest habitats south to Victoria. The typeseries collected from far north Queensland is the only sample seen by the author showing sexual dimorphism. Populations sampled by the author from subtropical and temperate areas do not show dimorphism. As pointed out by Martin (1999), the yellow wax of this species is distinctive. This species may be superficially confused with  A. coombsi sp. n., a species also with yellow wax, but can be separated by the characters in the key.
