Thank you Maddi Giannotta for identifying and Dr Ben Parslow & Tina Meakin for helping with the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Maddi said "This a tentative ID, I would need to look at it a bit more closely to be certain - there are a few species in this complex that are remarkably similar!" | |||||
