Invasion Description

1st Record: Queensland (Moreton Bay, QM G308550, Kott 2003). An earlier record from Queensland, and reports from the Palau Is, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (Monniot and Monniot, 1996) are doubtful (Gretchen Lambert, personal communication), but a detailed examination found no differences between the Moreton Bay specimen and Japanese ones (Kott 2003)
