I have identified this based on earlier sightings of L. alleynae in the ACT, but if I apply the published key strictly these would come out as Leioproctus spatulatus. The problem is that I have discovered that there is a problem with the key because some species exhibit within-species variation in leg colour so that the only certain way to distinguish between males of seven closely related species is to dissect specimens.
