The morphology of specimens from the Border Ranges (the type locality) and southern Victoria is almost identical, although northern specimens possess only two peg teeth on the male cheliceral promargin, whereas specimens from Victoria possess three. This species was included in the molecular phylogenetic analysis of Rix et al. (2008) as “ <i>Textricella</i> sp. VICBlack”.
