Thank you Ken Harris for confirming the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
~17mm long & ~40mm wingspan.
Over 6 years ago Ken said "The closest I can get is Bandidus breviusculus, which matches quite well in the wing venation, but the markings of the abdomen are completely different and don't seem likely for any Bandidus species." Recently Ken took another look and said "The wings are close to Bandoleon canifrons, but the body markings are very different from that species."

This species is

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