Thank you Marilyn Hewish for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee), and elsewhere We thought this was Amelora nebulosa, but Marilyn indicates it's not an Amelora due to the thoracic crest. Most likely a Fisera sp, but she doesn't recognise it. Marilyn also said A. nebulosa is a mountain species, and that the way it's holding it's wings is indicitive of Fisera as well. | |||||
