It was described in 1900 by Henry Roughton Hogg.[2][1] However, in 2015 Volker Framenau declared it "incerta sedis", stating that it was known from two female specimens, the morphology of whose genitalia failed to match those of the genus.[4] (This view is accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory.)[2]
