I'm not clear whether this is a Bathytricha or Acrapex species. It seems too light for the common Bathytricha truncata, and too bulky for Acrapex exsanguis that has been recorded regularly in ACT. Its seems closet to an unnamed Bathytricha species from the coast and tablelands.

Glenn, your original suggestion of Bathytricha (and any others put recently in the missing species suggestion box) was lost in Aaron's restructuring over the break.

Looking at this again, I believe Acrapex exsanguis was right.

I think this specimen is too pale for Bathytricha. Also there are no marginal dots like in Bathytricha.
