Thank you Axel Kallies for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere An undescribed species, but still included in the CSIRO database; the initials AH refer to Axel Hausmann. Males have bi-pectinate antennae, females have filimorm. Axel said "Clearly the same species, "Syneora" sp Ah06. However, I have no doubt that it is misplaced. I dont think it is even vaguely related to Syneora." | |||||
