| Species: | Bark Louse (Trichadenotecnum enderleini)| This Photo: | Anterior | Synonym: | Ptycta enderleini | Thank you Andrew Humpage (HappyWonderer) for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere 1st Live Photo on-line: At only 2.5mm body & head length, it wasn't the easiest animal we've tried to photograph It seems to be a relatively common species but isn't described in Smithers (1990) that we can see. However, it matches very closely Ptycta enderleini, in the paper "Systematic Position of Trichadenotecnum enderleini" by Yoshizawa & Smithers. We use the ALA for naming, which still uses the old name; Trichadenotecnum enderleini, not Ptycta enderleini as described in the above paper.
