By:   Marius Burger
Comment:   This is likely to be Goggia hewitti, but not of the typical colour and patterning for this species (compare with SARCA 499 & 500). ID confirmation needed from Aaron Bauer & Bill Branch.

Comment:   This looks like a juvenile hence dark bias in colour but I also think it is Goggia hewitti although Goggia from this area need to sampled as there is evidence that Goggia lineata may occur in the area.
