Can you tell us exactly where you found this? It may help with the ID.

probably Victaphanta compacta Family Rhytididae. Endemic to the Otways of southern Victoria but need specific location

Found where shown on the map - on a walking track at Otway Fly Adventures. It’s one of the things they recommended keeping an eye out for.

There was no map included at my end

No map here, you must have clicked on the suppress location box. You could edit the sighting and uncheck that box if you're happy for us to see the exact location.

It doesn’t show up as suppressed when I put it in edit mode, but I may have suppressed it when I loaded it as it was on private property. I cycled the record through suppressed so I could then unsuppress it. Hopefully the map shows up now.

Sorry Simone, it still hasn't come up. Maybe it's an automatic thing.
Could you tell us where it is?

Agree with Victaphanta compacta. It is the only Victaphanta species in that area
