It was known from seven females and three males, now we got 45 &amp;female; and 64 &amp;male;, of which 20 &amp;female; and five males are from New Zealand. The original description of male genitalia is not enough to identify precisely this species, so we up dated the description of the male genitalia and hypopygium below. <b>Description of hypopygium and genitalia. (</b> Figs 138, 145–147). Hypopygium (Fig. 138) puncticulate; posterior margin strongly angulate; teeth of posterior margin straight, teeth closed each other, almost evenly thick; lateral stalk present and long. Genitalia (Figs 145–147) with paramere doble. Paramere not fused to basiparamere; inner margin of ventral arm not angulate; basiparamere with apical margin not angulate; volsella not surpassing aedeagus apex; cuspis short, 0.10 length of apical lobe of aedeagus, 1.0 width of apical lobe of aedeagus; digitus 0.40 length of apical lobe of aedeagus, upper surface spinose; aedeagus with median region as wide as base; apical lobe long, 0.50 length of apical lobe of aedeagus, fold of inner margin present; apex almost straight. <b>Variation.</b> Males: body length 4.28–6.67 mm; LFW 3.33–4.77 mm; clypeus with median clypeal lobe angulate to subangulate; discal carina of propodeal disc very short, almost inconspicuous to short; pronotal disc short to very short; propodeal disc slightly confused-rugulose; median carina reaching posterior margin, but mingling with sculpturing of disc. Females: body length 4.00–6.00 mm; LFW 3.90–5.00 mm; clypeus with median clypeal lobe almost truncate; pronotal disc short to very short; parapsidal furrow conspicuous only posterad; median carina very weak in posterior region of propodeal disc, almost a line; discal carina of propodeum slightly shorter than half length of propodeal disc; metasoma slightly elongated to much elongated; Rs <i>b</i> of forewing slightly convex to straight; legs with colors castaneous to dark castaneous. <b>Distribution.</b> New Zealand (Central Otago, Auckland); Australia (Queensland, Western Australia, New South Wales, South Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania).
