The holotype female was collected by J. Gourvès at 1900 m elevation on Mont Aorai, whereas the male first reported above was collected by E.M. Claridge at 2070 m on Pito Hiti (EMEC). These two localities are an estimated 5.5 km apart taking the ridge distance between them. The microsculpture of the male is somewhat less developed than that of the female holotype. For the present the two specimens are considered conspecific, with the discovery of a male specimen from Mont Aorai the best arbiter for establishing the conspecificity or distinctiveness of the Aorai and Pito Hiti populations.
