Thank you Danilo Lüdke for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Flinders Ranges and elsewhere 1st Live Photo on-line: ~7.5mm long. You can see here the "spots" are actually dark coloured punctuations in the exoskeleton. Danilo said "It leaves me with some very tiny doubts about K. confinis (length of 2nd antennal segment, shape of the anterolateral margin of the pronotum, coloring of the connexivum). But as Gross himself doubted and ended up considering the big and dark ones as enchylaenae and the small and pale ones as confinis, we can do the same as your specimen matches the key and is dark and over 7 mm :)" | |||||
