Thank you Marilyn Hewish, Axel Kallies & Dr Paul Whitington for confirming the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
We thought this was Proteuxoa marginalis, but Marilyn Hewish kindly advised otherwise.
Axel also said "I dont think it is oxygona. That one has white veins along the middle of forewing which are missing here. This specimen has a white speck near the forewing base (missing in oxygona)."

This species is

Australian Native Species, not listed in the SA Murray Mallee Survey of 2010.
