Thank you Dr Erich Volschenk for identifying and Crowley Museum & Nature Center Inc. for helping with the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found in the Riverland and possibly elsewhere
~12mm SVL
Note the single pronged stinger.
We thought this was Isometroides angusticaudus. Erich lifted it to genus saying "The distribution of the SA 'I. angusticaudus' is ~1500km from the type locality in Qld. Without more evidence, I'm very sceptical about these being the same species."

This species is

Australian Native Species, not listed in the SA Murray Mallee Survey of 2010.
