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. | |||||
