RANGE. 



So far as has been worked out up to the present, this species has been found 

 almost exclusively in New South Wales, the exception being the continuation of the 

 New England table-land to Stanthorpe in Queensland. 



In its typical form it is found in the drier north-western parts of this State, in 

 the Pilliga Scrub, and it extends to the Western Plains. It also occurs on the Tablelands, 

 both south and north, attaining a fair elevation. While it most frequently occurs in 

 localities retentive of moisture, it is often found in better- drained situations.
