Thank you Dr Lindsay Popple for identifying and Ethan Beaver for helping with the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found in the Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere
Lindsay has since said "The key to Pauropsalta species requires quite precise measurements and close examination of a specimen." ... they "can only be identified to genus from photographs."
As such, these id's are tentative/estimates.
