Thank you Won-Gun Kim, Mark Ridgeway & Nick Lambert for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Of those we've measured, they range from ~3mm to ~4mm. That's quite a size variation. We're not sure if this is due to gender, normal variation, or actually different species that look the same. | |||||
