	Thank you Axel Kallies for identifying and 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 ~17mm long, ~37mm wingspan We thought this might be Brachybelistis pentachroa, but Axel said these "dont have yellow hindwings"
