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 ~10mm long, ~28mm wingspan. A highly variable species. Males & Females have filiform antennae, so the only way to separte them is with ventral shots. Of the two we photographed ventrally, they both appeared to be males. | |||||
