| Species: | Adelaide's Fly Mimic (Abracadabrella sp ES01)| This Photo: | Dorsal | Thank you Caitlin Henderson (ShesGotLegs) for identifying and Ethan Yeoman for helping with the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~3.5mm long, found desiccated. A female we think. We id'ed this as A. lewiston based on location, the only species in the genus known to be found in SA. However, it looks more like A. birdsvillei. More work is needed to determine the true range of the different species of Abracadabrella. Caitlin said "Not a good match for A. lewiston. I have a specimen I'm looking at now from NT and it's a very close match for for the drawing in the description, very different to this. Much longer in the body and the eye spots are not rounded, among other features."
