Thank you Danilo Lüdke (lehelind) for identifying this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
~5.5mm long.
It seems with some inverts, size does matter!
We thought this might be a smaller specimen of Kalkadoona enchylaenae, but Danilo said "It's somehow also close to K. confinis as particularly the description of the black portions fits well. But the antennal segments 2 & 3 are indeed of almost equal length as you said. If the two forms are really closely related, even mating is possible."

This species is

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