	Thank you Dr Samuel Brown for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~9mm long. It's difficult to be sure of species as the other Ophryota species (O. hystricosa & O. rapax, O. subangulata) are not well known. We are confident it's not O. nodosa. Samuel thought it a reasonable id.
