General Species Information:
Found in the Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere
Interesting situation. It's been taken out of the taxon tree because someone believed it didn't belong where it was; but then didn't place it somewhere else. Currently under "Lithinini" on Atlas, and Azelina biplaga on iNaturalist.
