Thank you Dr Paul Whitington & James Peake (JimBobo) for helping with the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
Jim & Paul have proven on iNat that these larvae can rarely be id'ed below sub-family; having to raise the larvae to get the adults to have any hope of id'ing to species.
