Thank you Axel Kallies for identifying and Peter Marriott for helping with the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere
Both Male & Females have filiform antennae.
These were id'ed for us as Tasmanian Cutworm Moths, but we never felt comfortable with that id, as there were two distinct types. Now we know why

These maybe 3 different species. We've put them all together for now until we learn more about this genus and what separates the species apart. Or they could be the same species.
