Long known as Heterodea muelleri, the move to Cladia occurring in 2012. A native species and around here fairly commonly found on the ground amongst twig/leaf litter. Cladia beaugleholei is similar, but not as common. The major visual difference is that muelleri has a dark underside, beaugleholei a dirty white to pale grey one. In the photo the underside appears to be dark (look at the margins where there is bit of curving of the lobes). Beaugleholei has a local connection - the type specimen was collected in 1970 near Queanbeyan.
