It was found freely by the author near Wingan Inlet and near 

 Lake Tyers during late February, 1946, and again by F. E. Wilson 

 and the author at the last named locality in February 1947. It 

 breeds on the Black Fruit Saw Sedge (Galinia melanocarpa) , 

 which is confined to swampy gullies, usually near estuaries. 



Many years ago, several specimens of H. picta were collected 

 near Lake Tyers by the late J. A. Kershaw, and, as far as the 

 author is aware it had not been taken again until 1946. The range 

 of the species is from far eastern Victoria, along the coast of 

 New South Wales, to south Queensland, where it is, however, rare.
