	Thank you Tony Daley for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~3.5mm long. We originally thought this might be a Geron sp. In the sun, the stripe is VERY obvious and more like red than orange. We recognise the male here as the eyes are touching, females have separated eyes.
