The single diminutive specimen collected from a pitfall trap near Nurrari Lakes could not be identified with certainty. It comes closest to Paracephala hesperia (a WA species not recorded from SA) but differs in its broader pronotum and cordate to scutellate scutellum. It superficially resembles a small Meliboeithon, but has only a feeble longitudinal depression rather than the deep groove on the frons that is diagnostic of that genus.
