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."
