	Thank you Anthony Paul for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Flinders Ranges and possibly elsewhere As can be seen, this was found in a flowering Fringe-myrtle (Calytrix tetragona) bush. We didn't have a chance to capture, nor measure, it before it dropped out of sight.
