There is some uncertainty regarding the extent of occurrence of this species. It is known with certainty to be from northeastern New South Wales extending northwards to mid-eastern Queensland and into central Queensland. Ingram and Longmore (1991) recorded the species from Cape York and the Gulf of Carpentaria, however the specific identity of the specimens from these localities is unclear. Cogger (2000) gave the geographic range as occurring from extreme northeastern New South Wales northwards along coastal and inland Queensland including Cape York, but excluding the Gulf of Carpentaria.
