Etymology Referring to the type locality of the species on the Queensland Plateau.
Description Medium, sub-rectangular; moderately robust. Anterior broadly rounded almost symmetrically so. Posterior truncate. Dorsal margin straight with prominent anterior hinge ear and postero-dorsal spine in LV; ventral margin straight to slightly convex. Ventro-Iateral ridge prominent, flange-like, terminating posteriorly in a laterally-directed spine, extending anteriorly to the antero-ventral corner and there undergoing a sharp decrease in relief before continuing parallel to the anterior margin as a weak ocular ridge. Dorsal ridge moderately well-developed, spinose. Reticulum well-developed centrally, vertically aligned muro of stronger emphasis, becoming somewhat weak and irregular towards the antero-dorsal corner. Bridge highly modified, posterior vertical element strengthened, expanded into an irregular and gently arcuate spinose ridge. Ventrolateral ridge of moderate strength, linked to the antero-dorsal angle via a slightly sinuous ocular ridge. Foveolate, solar pores celate, pore conuli distributed as for the genus. Internal details typical of the genus, posterior tooth of RV strongly lobate. [details]

Dorsal margin of LV with prominent anterior hinge ear and postero-dorsal spine. Ventro-Iateral ridge strong, flange-like; ocular ridge low, subdued. Bridge modified, posteriorly expanded into an irregular spinose ridge, postero-ventral element linked to the antero-dorsal corner via a distinct, sinuous ridge. [details]
