Muschett.</p> <p>Biology and ecology. This species can be found in the grassy understory in the subalpine and alpine regions. Its diet includes a wide variety of alpine grasses, including several species of Poa spp., Deschampsia spp. and Carex spp. (Umbers et al., 2013). This species is univoltine – adults do not overwinter but lay eggs in summer and autumn, which may hatch the following spring or may partially develop in the first summer and emerge in their second spring. The hatchlings typically emerge in late October, and after going through several molts, adults emerge in January. The mating season lasts through April and females can be seen ovipositing from March to May (Dearn, 1977; Tatarnic et al., 2013; Umbers et al., 2013). This species does not appear to have any pre-copulatory courtship behavior, but males engage in fierce combat over ovipositing females, and they will frequently grapple, bite and kick their opponent and perform ritualized mandible flaring (Umbers et al., 2012).</p> <p>Distribution. Kosciuscola tristis inhabits the highest elevations in the Kosciuszko Massif and is rarely found below 1500 m. Specifically, it is commonly found in the NSW alps, including Mt. Kosciuszko, Mt. Townsend, Mt. Tate, and Mt. Jagungal.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/038D991DFFFEFFDABDE49213BFF79E66	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Kosciuscola restrictus can be differentiated from K. tristis based on its endemicity in Mt. Buffalo, smaller size, much greener head color with two yellow stripes that extend to pronotum (especially in males), shaper prosternal process especially at the apex, as well as more elongated apodemes of cingulum in male genitalia. In Mt. Buffalo, one can potentially collect two species of Kosciuscola: K. restrictus and an undescribed species close to K. cuneatus (Sth Vic &amp; Buffalo Clade in Umbers et al., 2021). K. restrictus can be distinguished from K. cuneatus by having bright green coloration, especially in males (K. cuneatus is brown), and a triangular prosternal process (K. cuneatus has a distinctly bilobed prosternal process).</p> <p>Redescription. Coloration: Male head bright green, often with yellow markings on gena below eyes (especially when alive). Eye brown. Antennae tan. Male pronotum uniformly green or green/brown dorsally, lateral carina cream color, lateral portion of prozona dorsally black and ventrally with green patches (Figs. 1C, 5A, 5B, 5D, and 5E).

Lateral plates of epiproct slightly concave. Posterior apex of epiproct broadly projecting forward.
