General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
Common names with moths can often be important descriptors. Here we thought this was Pointed Cape-moth (Amelora demistis). However, the wings aren't pointed, ruling that species out.

NB: none of the identifications on this web site have been determined scientifically (ie by dissection). They are based on visual clues, which can be very missleading with invertebrates.

This species is

Australian Native Species, not listed in the SA Murray Mallee Survey of 2010.
