Thank you Axel Kallies for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~16mm long, ~33mm wingspan. Males have bipectinate antennae, while females have filiform antennae. We originally though this was Stibaroma melanotoxa. We have posted a number of individuals here to show how much this species can vary. | |||||
