	Thank you James Lumbers for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~18mm long. Very distinctive wing shape at the shoulder. Very difficult to distinguish between these and Rutilia. The wing shape is the main differentiator.
