General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee), and elsewhere About 8mm (head & body) & 18mm wingspan Males have mildly bipectinate antennae, females are filiform (thread like). The hindwing can be plain or have paler lateral stripe matching the forewing. Of the few images available on-line, it appears the females have more of a hindwing stripe than males. We have only ever seen the adults in the Mallee in March. | |||||
