Two specimens of this species with distinctive dark bristly front tibiae turned up by sweeping on Schinus tertebinthifolia on St Helena in the South Atlantic. Despite the island's fauna being well-recorded, it has not been seen before.

Any suggestions? Most new species get to St Helena via S Africa.
