External morphology

Widened lateral sides .Size 21.7 mm x 24.06 mm.

Though its exact host is as yet unknown, this sickle-hooked Toxodentid is considered to be endemic to Australia. Its uniformly extended lateral sides make it unique among the Toxodentidae. Named in honor of Australian occlupanologist S. Nottingham, creator of “The Breadtag Project“. Though only recently described, E. nottinghamae may soon become endangered due to the local introduction of similarly-shaped occlupanomorphic mimics composed entirely of organic material.
