My suggested ID is based on no more than it looks like this species, although S. cholica appears to quite similar although geneally lighter overall. BoldSystems 4 shows both species as occurring in NSW, whereas S, cinerascens has most examles in Qld, while on the other hand S. cholica shows severalrecords from WA as well as NSW.
