This large and little-known but attractive Batocera species is endemic to south-east Queensland and north-eastern and central-eastern coastal New South Wales. Label data indicates it occurs in rainforest/high rainfall areas at least as far north as Mt Glorious in S.E. Queensland, and at least as far south as the Taree district in New South Wales.

I photographed this female specimen after it had come to light in the Richmond Ranges, N.E. NSW, in January 1996. The yellow patches on the elytra soon turn white after death.

The known larval host plants are Ficus macrophylla (Morton Bay Fig) and Ficus australis.

Not shown to be endangered.
