Thank you Matthew Connors for identifying and Dianne Clarke for confirming the id of this species for us

EXTRA - Photo Specific Information:

General Species Information:
Found in the Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere
We thought this was E. trigintiduoguttata. Matthew is working on them and it's a bit up in the air at this stage if they are the same species/synonyms or different. Another possible synonym, or perhaps different is E. maculata
