Seems to have two forward point teeth which would fit for T alpina? Although that species usually considered to be montane, not sure if Majura counts as that

DLJ in the Field Guide has T alpina both on Black Mountain and Mt Ainslie so could be.

Reviewing this record Tobias's observation and suggestion is correct with those distinguishing 2 horn-like teeth well visible either side of the deep notch at the apex of the post-anther lobe. This is typical of T. alpina, thanks Tobias.
