General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
Each time we get a usable photo of this species it has slightly different markings. While we show 5 different variations here, we only count them as one species as there is no readily available information we can find about their differences.
These markings could be age, gender or species variations; or simple variations from specimen to specimen.
