General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
The 6 specimens we have found range from just over 4mm to 6mm. Originally suspecting they were different species, due to the strength of patterns, the patterns still match. We suspect they are now various stages of growth from the smallest being younger, to the largest being older. Interestingly all are female, no males found yet.

This species is

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