Clania lewinii has a case with covering sticks all approximately the same length. The other non-tropical Clania species has one or more sticks much longer than the other.

I have a video of this guy moving along with his house on his back. Very funny to watch. Then something made a noise and he quickly tucked back into the cocoon house thing.
