General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~12mm long, ~26mm wingspan. This is the first time we've seen white markings on the body, as well as the vertical white stripes on the face of a Fabriogenia. Mind you, they aren't obvious, but definitately missing on other specimens we've seen in this genus. The top of the hind leg also seems to have a white patch/stripe. We managed to catch this one only because it was injured. | |||||
