@donhe you would need to see them front on then queenslandica has, “head lightly scaled, white, with a pair of purplish brown dots between the eyes just below the antennal bases: pair of thin purplish brown bars between antennal bases which extend almost to the mid-line; labial palps upturned, white, with purplish brown tips.”
