Habitat . It is a dry country species, and, so far as we know at present, confined

Territory, nearest to the New South Wales and Queensland localities. 
New South Wales. With the exception of the " Riverina" locality, which is too 
vague, the species is only recorded from the White Cliffs and Milparinka districts, 
trans-Darling localities on the route from Wilcannia to the extreme north-west of the 
State.
