Thank you Prof Victor W Fazio III & Axel Kallies for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere This is figured on Bold as Archaeoses ANIC1 We've photographed 14 specimens, varying in size between 14mm up to 21mm head & body length. It seems the larger ones have fatter bodies and suspect them to be females; with the shorter, slimmer ones males. All were found in March & April. | |||||
