Thank you Prof Victor W Fazio III for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Length ~24mm, wingspan ~30mm. It seems male & females have filiform antennae, but find anywhere that states this. Very silvery grey moth with black longitudinal lines. The cost has 2 dark patches which seem more consistent (in other photo's) than the black lines. Each wing has an almost imperceptible trailing dark band. The trailing hindwing has a wavy edge. Not commonly seen nor collected, but found around the country (including Tasmania). University specimens have been found between Nov to May. | |||||
