Atagema ornata
(Ehrenberg, 1831)
Also known as: Trippa intecta, Atagema intecta
Photographed by: Brent Murdoch
Atagema ornata and Atagema intecta both relate to the same species and we must use Atagema ornata (instead of Atagema intecta - which is more common in the literature) because it is the older name.

This photo shows the animal in profile from the right side, so the ragged white line (which is mid-dorsal) is right at the top.Locality:
