Hi Paul4K, A agilis was not recognised as a separate species from A stuartii until a genetic study revealed its existence. The two are hard to tell apart, but A. stuartii is north of Jervis Bay and A agilis has an eye ring, as seen in your main photo.

Thanks Don I had wondered, as my ID based on scull dentition done decades ago. These animals have co-inhabited our bush hut for ~ 40yrs, very cute beasties.
