Thank you Cael Gallery for identifying this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
Males ~9mm long. We measured one of the male legs that it had lain out flat to be 17mm long.
These were moved to the Xenoctenidae family in 2017, but Atlas still has them listed under Miturgidae.
Cael advised us these are now no longer considered Odo sp, that we previously had it marked as.
