Respectfully disagree with this verification Di - not H. irius. Suggest this one is actually H. metirius, as id by the good folks on iNat some years ago, see: https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/64773093 . Other than the southerly location of the sighting there is a good deal of difference in the hw undersides of these two species.

Hypocysta metirius
