Thank you David J. Ferguson for identifying this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
~14mm long. Has very short, scattered hair on the green eyes.
We thought this was a female D. circumdata; complimenting our male.
But David said "Femora yellow brown and scutellum is with a pale posterior margin."
You can clearly see these differences when comparing to the male above.

This species is

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