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.

This species is

Australian Native Species, not listed in the SA Murray Mallee Survey of 2010.
