General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
We thought this was in the Dicyrtomina genus, but James moved it saying "Long fourth antenna segment rules out Dicyrtomidae, likely here based on overall body plan."

To be honest with you, we can't see ANY segments
