Parakontikia ventrolineata is probably the most common species in urban areas in the ACT and in the eastern States. On the other hand, Anisorhynchodemus guttatus is certainly uncommon as it only occurs where there is appropriate habitat such a tall eucalypt forest.
Anisorhynchodemus with only one pair of eyes, is readily differentiated from Parakontikia that has multiple eyes. I have checked your previous post, and I am only able to see a pair (dorsal view) and one prominent sub-terminal eye (lateral view ). Because the dorsal stripe pattern of these two species is similar, best to check the eyes using a hand lens.
Identifications from photos come with caveats, such as the details required for ID may not be in focus, or are obscured by reflections, or cannot be resolved due to the nature of the image. I could well be wrong, and the specimen that I identified as A. guttatus may have been P. ventrolineata.
The other point is that what I wrote about habitat previously was a generalization. Of course there is always the possibility that a specimen may turn up in an urban garden, inadvertently carried there together with potted plants ... and this has in fact happened elsewhere, though for that species that too is a rare event; they are not commonly found in urban / public gardens.
