no live specimen photographed but many sloughs found.
this would be a new location for this species along the monaro.

This skin slough seems to have 14 scale rows near the head however scale rows should be counted mid-body. Aprasia parapulchella has 14 mbs. Were any complete sloughs collected so that could be checked? The head shields are difficult to see although what i can make out resemble Aprasia. I will wait for feed back from Brian before confirming. Nearby records of the species are at Lake Eucumbene and Cooma Back Ridge so this would be an important new site.

Hi, Will.
There are some other shed fragments so will count their MB scales, but no full sheds.
Will post a comment once I have counted the scales. Cheers.
