Distribution and Habitat

The species has been collected from tributaries of the Pine River at altitudes above 500 m a.s.l. in rainforest in Maiala National Park near Mt. Glorious, northwest of Brisbane, Queensland. Rainforest elsewhere in the area has been extensively cleared through it persists in some gullies of national parks and state forests. Higher ridges support sclerophyll forests.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
