New species discovered along the Hindmarsh River

A new species of cicada known as the Adelaide Black Squeaker (Atrapsalta audax) has been recently described formally by national cicada expert Lindsay Popple and local entomologist Alex Stolarski in the Australian Entomologist scientific journal. Amazingly, the southern-most mainland published records of the species were observed by Malcolm Worthing along the Hindmarsh River. This location was under 7km from the Hindmarsh River Estuary: a local biodiversity hotspot.
