Kieffer places this species in the section of the genus 

 without spines on the hind tibise, probably because West- 

 wood makes no mention of such spines ; but the spines are 

 really well developed. Though widely spread, the species 

 seems to be uncommon.

This is also erroneously placed by Kieffer in the section 

 without spines on the hind tibiae. Westwood states that his 

 type came from Tasmania,, but the specimen marked by him 

 as perfida in the British Museum, which is undoubtedly the 

 type, is from S.W. Australia. 1 have taken it at Yallingup, 

 and it also occurs at Adelaide.
