Sifted from litter beneath Norfolk pines. This is apparently the first record of this genus from the island (though undocumented specimens may exist in collections). The last photo shows this micropterus male(?) next to an adult female specimen (see here https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/115652452).
