The patterning looked more like Amelora or Androchela to me, but is not identical to any of those. None of these have the long snout of this specimen.

Excellent match for Nearcha nullata I think. I've tried to add the species, but have experienced another instance of the new species being allocated to ''Úncategorised Species', but it does not appear there. Will report it.

Yes, very close to the Wikipedia photo for N. nullata.
