Labidura truncataObserver

~17mm long.
Found at night light.
Is there an error on iNat Taxon list?
On Atlas Labidura truncata is synonomised with Labidura riparia; but here they are different?

Middleton Point at low tide. River Murray flood waters have resulted in large number of dead fish, bivalves and other marine invertebrates washing onto the beach. The bivalves and marine invertebrates normally inhabit the littoral sand zone but could not survive the large influx of Murray water into the ocean.

cheriebone64Description
Found on the ground Tuesday morning, was already about 28 degrees and he was covered in ants. Rescued him, put in a box with bark and took him inside for the day as it going to be 40 degrees. Outside at dusk to release, left in the open box and checked in the morning Wednesday, still there in a different position. Tried to give him a moth, he ‘clicked’ at it and backed away. Left him in the open box, still there when went to bed Wednesday and gone Thursday, hopefully fit and free. I think it is an inland broad nosed bat

environDescription
Numerous individuals aggregated together, mostly small juveniles but one large male. They mobbed us pretty actively when we entered the area - not aggressively, but certainly not shy of the occasional head bump, with the big male coming in repeatedly to have its chin scratched!
Many of them had hooks in their mouths. and several of them appeared to have been finned by fishermen, the tops of their dorsal fins cut off at about the level of the spine ...

These cute fluffy balls of warm fuzzies were very much under the protective eye of both parents. I'm thankful I had my zoom lens on the camera so I could keep my distance & not disturb the happy family.
