Yes! 8 years I've been looking for this, a fabulous animal. Found in garden compost.
I am not at all clear about the distinction between cinereus and vandellii, but:
length c.170mm
body annuli - 116 (I think, but may have the body/tail separation in the wrong location) - photo shows yellow dashes representing 10 annuli, then dots for remaining 6.
I would greatly appreciate reasons for any species suggestions - thanks.
