@ibaird @donhe Seeking clarification on why you id'd this one as O. australis rather than O. dirempta. I wondered if the 2 markings below the lateral line was a important but I have just looked on BOLD and found this one https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimen.php?processid=ANICM760-10 which seems to have similar bumps below the lateral line. I find Oxycanus difficult.

Oxycanus australis
