Thank you Peter Marriott for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Peter said it's a tentative id at this stage. The only specimen we found, in October, was already dead and appears to have been killed by a parasite in it's side (see the ventral view). | |||||
