There are no other records for this species within our region within the Atlas of Living Australia - so a great record to have

I'm wondering whether this may be Pachymorpha squalida rather than a Ctenomorpha. The very short antennae suggest it.

My comment appears to be missing. I wrote : I checked with Brock and the stubby cerci would suggest P. squalida. I've never seen it before. Roger
