Abstract
In New South Wales P. xanthopus is limited to an area of 70 by 10 km, about 150 km north-east of Broken Hill. The distinctive habitat consists of cliffs, wind-blown caves and angled boulders jumbled together. The temperature and relative humidity differed by 11°C and 21 % between the outside and the inside of one cave. The vegetation is abundant and diverse, and indicates a moisture regime more favourable to the species than is that of the surrounding plain. The conservation of the species is discussed.https://doi.org/10.1071/WR9760073
