The specific epithet formosum comes from Latin formosus (‘beautiful’), in reference to the ornate colouration of the abdomen. [1] [2]

Distribution and habitat

The species occurs in a restricted area of south-west Western Australia, in the Lake Moore catchment near the junction of the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie and Yalgoo bioregions. The type locality is Mount Gibson Station, some 90 km north-east of Wubin and 350 km north-east of Perth. [1] [2]
