| Abstract: | Taxidiotisoma
portabile
gen. n., sp. n. is described from scattered populations in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, Australia. Populations of Taxidiotisoma
portabile in Victoria, Tasmania and parts of New South Wales occur in urban, suburban and agricultural areas, with no collections of the species in natural habitats in the same district. Taxidiotisoma
portabile is likely to be a native exotic species whose home range is in eastern New South Wales. |
