RANGE. 



(a) Normal Form. 

 It attains its widest distribution in South Australia, having been recorded from 

 as far north as Beltana, on the Oodnadatta Line, and as far west as Fowler's Bay, on 

 the Great Australian Bight, not far from the Western Australian boundary. In the 

 Murray Biver district, thence northerly to the Petersburg and Flinders Range districts, 

 it is not uncommon. Thence turning south and westerly, it is found in Eyre's 

 Peninsula, and joins up with the Fowler's Bay locality. 



In Victoria and New South Wales it keeps fairly near to the Murray, continuing 

 the South Australian localities. In the latter State Euabalong, in the Condobolin 

 district, and Griffith are more inland localities. It is a dry-country species, 



South Australia.
