Resembles genus Pipinnipons, but needs expert confirmation. I have sent a request to Dr Christine Lambkin of the Queensland Museum.

Christine says: "Definitely Agapophytus female, probably Agapophytus albobasalis". That's as far as we'll be able to go, as she adds: "of course to be absolutely sure you’d have to see the specimen". Thank you Christine Lambkin.
