Thank you Matt Campbell for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere Wingspan ~30mm Looks very similar to Hednota opulentellus; which we thought it was originally. Ken Harris said "The white stripe just inside the leading edge is continuous. In H. opulentellus, there are two white striped overlapping half-way along the wing". | |||||
