Thank you Rachel Behm for confirming the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
~12mm long.
When doing the research on our Netelia discussed under Netelia sp ES01, we noticed a large size discrpency. These are MUCH smaller, and so most likely a different species.
