Genus Atarba

Atarba (Ischnothrix) cf. australasiae
Mid December 2016
Peter Murrell Reserve, Blackmans Bay
“I’m only aware of a single species of Atarba from Tasmania, A. australasiae and your specimen looks very much like examples of A. australasiae I’ve seen from the mainland. Unfortunately I didn’t encounter any when I visited Tas early last year, would have been great to have some specimens for DNA comparison.”
