Habitat : Kalpower, Queensland. January, 1945. 
Type in collection : Manski. 
Towards the end of January, 1945, I received, 
amongst a number of Neuropterous insects, this specimen 
that I readily perceived was a new species, and I have 
much pleasure in naming it after Mr. S. Brock, who 
captured it and sent it to me.
