The type locality of this species is Tallaganda National Park, New South Wales, Australia. This species exhibits lecithotrophic ovoviviparity; that is, mothers in this species retain yolky eggs in their uteri.

Etymology
The name of the genus is derived from the Greek phallos (meaning penis) and kephale (meaning head), referring to the structure present on the heads of males of this species. The specific epithet refers to Tallaganda National Park, where this species was discovered.
