Thank you Danilo Lüdke (lehelind) for identifying and (BradLP10) for helping with the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
The instar was ~14mm long. The adults get a lot larger.
We thought this was Amorbus rhombifer, but Danilo indicated they are an East Coast species.
There is an undescribed species, informally referred to as 'No. 4', is related to A. rhombifer.
This may be that species, or a pale form of A. rubiginosus. It's unclear at this stage.
