	Thank you Marilyn Hewish for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Head & body length ~10mm, wingspan ~22mm. We thought this was Agrotis porphyricollis, but Marilyn kindly advised us of the correct id. While Thoracolopha is the currently accepted name (as of late 2017), we use the names on the ALA which lists these under Proteuxoa. All four female specimens were found on one night, 2nd April 2018
