Antennae - 21 elongate segments, many more than most Rove beetles eg Tasgius. Abdomen - 9 segments or is it 10? Like an Earwig with undeveloped pincers. No discernible elytra. Interesting body arrangement.

Yes, of course Michael. The bulbous front tarsi are a give away. See 'The Insects of Australia', Ch 26 Embioptera
