Thank you Tony Daley for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere We thought this was C. augur. But Tony said "It would be a choice between C. augur and C. dubia - 2 pairs of presutural acrostichals, 3 postsutural pairs, and general colouration seen here (especially the large central metallic area on abdomen). The former species has the fifth tergite with yellowish pruinescence while the latter with white pruinescence there." Liam Foley put it another way "C. augur has T5 with yellowish microtomentum." | |||||
