User's notes

Cockroach 12-14mm, found under log in boggy depression. Under the log right next to it was a Robshelfordia circumducta so possibly this is a younger form of that species, or perhaps a different species?

After a thorough look at A Guide to Cockroaches of Australia by David Rentz it is clear that this is Johnrehnia australiae (Rentz p223 )
