Three individuals seen, about 6 mm in length. The first two images show one individual, the second two another. I wasn't able to get good photos of the third.

Cath, do you know whether this cricket has been described yet and whether it is known from anywhere other than Mt Painter?

Hi Michael. I'm afraid I don't know any more than what's on CNM. I would love to know more.
