Thank you Dr Mark Hutchinson & Stephen Mahony for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Extremely fast. Very hard to see, let alone photograph. The name "orientalis" doesn't refer to Asia as is commonly thought, but "of the East" as in "Eastern". Similar Species: Eastern Desert Ctenotus (Ctenotus regius) | |||||
