General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere Males & Females are ~18mm long (body & head), with antennae that are longer than the body. Females have a long ovi-positor which is partially concealed by the hind wing tips. As such, males which also have the same rolled/pointed hindwing tips look quite similar. Males have a very different wing venation to females. Can be differentiated from Black Bush Crickets by the streak marks on the head and pale legs. | |||||
