It appears to be a species of Heterolepisma, probably H. highlandi which I have collected several times around, but not within the ACT. Please note that the genus name is likely to change within the next few months due to molecular studies of some South American Heterolepisma species.

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.

Definitely belonging to the Atelurinae, and almost certainly the tribe Atopatelurini. It is not possible to identify to genus without a good quality image of the ventral abdomen, without the legs obscuring abdominal segments I-VI.
