Thank you Dr Kevin Williams, Dr Martin Hauser & Pedro Reck Bartholomay for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~9mm long (head & body). While the same genus this seems to be a different to our other as the top of the body is quite red, as are the antennae. The other is all black. | |||||
