Status Images of the holotype allows a classification as an Epicodakia species. At 3 mm, it might be a juvenile of Epicodakia consettiana that lives in the Sydney area and thus a prior name; or alternatively it might be a distinct small species. The issue remains at present unresolved. (J. Taylor, pers. com. to P. Bouchet, 10 July 2023) [details]
