Thank you Dr Kevin Williams for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere A large velvet ant at ~12mm long. When we asked Kevin about the differences with other observations of this species he said "this observation is closer in appearance to the type (collected back in 1936)" | |||||
