I recently sat down with all
I recently sat down with all of our Sepedophilus material and discovered that many of the characters used to separate S. testaceus and S. marshami are much less clear-cut than described. This is actually S. testaceus rather than S. marshami. Your other S. marshami is correct though.

Cheers,
Adam

I think Sepedophilus marshami
I think Sepedophilus marshami, an introduced species that is often found on beaches (but also almost everywhere else too).

Cheers,
