Thank you CesDaMess & Grant Wang for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere We found two specimens in close proximity, 2 months apart. It's possible they are the same species, but different cast, or two different species. For now we'll publish them as different, but only count them as one. This one was ~5.5mm long. It seems redder than ES02. It also has a larger gaster, compared to body size, than ES02. | |||||
