	Thank you Matt Campbell & Matthew Connors for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere Adult Male, ~28mm long. Now that we have both Torbia & Caedicia here we can't be sure which genus the nymphs belong to. See our Caedicia observation for a discussion of differences.
