Thank you Won-Gun Kim for helping with the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
Won-Gun said "The stigma has 2 cells and so, it is one of hebe and psyche. Although Kirkaldy (1906) separates the two species by the darkness/brightness of the front wing, it's hard to tell whether it is darker or paler."
