General Species Information: Found in the Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere The female was about 8-9mm long with wingspan of about 28mm. Males have bipectinate antennae, females have filiform. The only 2 specimens we found were very worn & damaged. The white marks on the males forewing, eg, are damage not patterns. Fortunately one was male & one female to show the differences. | |||||
