The length of the forewing is 47âÂÂ64 mm.
The species occurs in Exmouth and the eastern Pilbara region of Western Australia. The associated habitat is eucalypt woodland. Favoured trees include Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Corymbia hamersleyana, often growing in small gullies and on alluvial terraces.
Adults have been heard in January and February, clinging to the main trunks and upper branches of eucalypts, uttering loud, electric, whining calls.
