This Photo: | Ventral | ||||
General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere This is figured on Bold as Hypobapta ANIC3 Yet another undescribed species that is known. So annoying for such a magnificent species. This species varies considerably from most other Hypobapta as the black lines are straighter and angled to the back more. This one also sat with it's forewings almost closed, where as others seem to rest with them fully spread out. As you can probably tell, our usual ventral shot failed miserably so used a couple of under shots with different views to try to show the underneath wing & body colours. Will update if we find another. | |||||
