General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Riverland and elsewhere
~25mm long
Note the black knees and 6 projections under the body.
Location suggests this species and it doesn't match the photo in Rentz's Katydid book of T.splendidus.
But there's precious little info on how to separate out the species.

This species is

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