Thank you Mark Newton & Cael Gallery for identifying and Ben Kurek & Janet Whitington for helping with the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
Came to a night light. Cael said "It's too grey to be I.leai (Especially with the speckled pattern on the abdomen and carapace) and the spots on the abdomen are the wrong shape for Isopedella. The adults of this species are huge!"
