Ecological attributes: — Affiliated with larger-diameter logs in mature (unlogged) forest (Yee, 2005) — Found in logging-regenerated but not in mature (unlogged) forest (Michaels & Bornemissza, 1999) — May occupy logs or trunks of Eucalyptus obliqua, at least temporarily, since found having emerged within a year of felling (Grove & Bashford, 2003) — May occupy logs or trunks of Eucalyptus obliqua, at least temporarily, since found having emerged within six years of felling (Grove et al., 2009).

Collection method(s) for TMAG material: — Emergence trapping from log of Eucalyptus obliqua — Hand collection (substrate not specified) — Log-mounted flight intercept trapping — Pitfall trapping — Trunk window trapping (Harrison, 2007).
