Bothriembryon tasmanicus (Pfeiffer, 1853) Family Bothriembryontidae. Tasmanian endemic. Found along the eastern and southern coasts of Tasmania never more than a few kilometres from the coast
11 May 2023
10 km is the modern day record for furthest inland. There may have been further inland historically, but probably accidental translocations if so.
