Identification

A relativelt well pigmented species with the telson produced into a stout pointed projection.
 
Confusion is possible with the ubiquitous Cylindroiulus punctatus (which occupies a similar dead wood habitat), but this later species bears a characteristic bulbous (club-shaped) tip to the projecting telson. 
 
A brief description, with figures, is given by Gregory & Owen (2019).
