    This is species #38 by my code and has been seen in Tas, NSW, Queensland and one of very few in Port Moresby.
    It is very similar to sp#37 which is entirely pale and without the transverse apical saddle. It is a complex with possibly four species
    Sp 37 is identical by dissection but not by phenotype with sp#36 Paropsisterna laesa. which is green and found in NSW and Tasmania.     Posted 9 years ago
