I have not seen an authentic type of this species, but have 

 before me two female specimens from the neighbourhood cited as 

 its habitat which agree perfectly with the description. A male 

 Paropsis (also from tropical Queensland) in my collection is 

 probably conspecific, but may possibly be distinct; the colour is 

 less distinctly greenish, and there are scarcely any punctures
