I think Platystomatidae (Achias?)
While others can't climb, using infinite pains, I, gravity turning to jest, Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes, Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best. |

Thank you, Black, for Family Platystomatidae . If somebody could confirm this as in the genus Achias, it would be very well. J-M |

Yes? it is certainly an Achias. The genus has been revised by David McAlpine from Sydney in 1990s, but I do not have that paper on hand at the moment. Furthermore, it is a large and obscure genus with no possibility for ID based on these pictures.
