Thank you Aidan Beutel for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere Between ~41mm & ~45mm long males. Range extensions of the species. It is quite orange compared with other specimens; which tend to be grey-brown. We've since found one at Ellura that has the typical grey colour. We actually miss-ided our grey one at Ellura as Hyrtacus tuberculatus. They are similar, but looking at the antennae length, tubercle size and posterior shape you can see there a significant differences. | |||||
