General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere We've found quite a few of these. They look identical but range from 17mm down to about 6mm; which would indicate they are different species. We've just shown a couple of the larger specimens here. | |||||
