Collected by digging out large warren. This species seems to be rather rare as apart from these dug out specimens none have been seen at night when hunting by flashlight, nor have they been seen by day. What ever though to be their tracks are the tracks of other species I believe! Where they are found the area they frequent seems to be limited. I believe they also feed on the Bulbous roots of the onion grass, seeds of the sand hill cane grass + salt bush+ other grasses+ herbs. S. & MCD. PTY. LTD., MELB., NO. 4764.
