General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere We can't be sure these 2 sightings are the same species. They are both tiny & we managed to measure the 2nd at ~3mm. At this size our equipement isn't sophisticated enough to get detailed diagnostic photographs, so stay with family level id. | |||||
