It appears to be Ctenolepisma longicaudatum, however the identity of this species is currently unde investigation. There appears to be two very similar species in Australia. The one with 5 papillae on each labial palp is the true Ct. longicaudatum and the other with about 10 papillae appears to be genetically distinct and under investigation.
