Unless there is good evidence that this belongs to Cydnus, I would be more inclined to call this simply 'Cydnidae sp.'. The AFD lists 83 Australian species of the family, only one of which is a Cydnus, and that seems to be a Qld species.

Kim - I've made a new suggestion after fixing the erroneous classification.
