Very fresh example, clearly shows the distinctive 'reniform mark' and it's russet colour, presumably the male. Also soe russet apparent at the collar.

A new species sighting for NatureMapr's Canberra and Southern Tablelands region if confirmed, Excellent photo, and yes, it would be nice to see more sightings corresponding with apparently un-named species.

Thanks to WendyEM for suggesting the MoV species 'Proteuxoa sp. 3 (MoV, Part 9), illustrated notes for which are available on the supporting disc for that un-named species. The notes state: 'This species is similar to P. adelopa but is has a dark collar on the the thorax' (see notes above that effect). The Museum of Victoria has one specimen (Dromana, 1980) and ANIC has more specimens from NSW and the ACT ( eg. Trangie, NSW, 1952). The two specimens (only females) illustrated by MoV also show a diffuse orbicular spot in line with the reniform mark at the base of the forewing as can also be seem in this sighting. The plain wing, no 'checks, and a 'stripe' at the termen and a generally dark sub-terminal area all correspond. Also I note the illustrated specimens also show the costal spots referred to above. I'm not sure I see the russet colour near the reniform mark in the illustreated MoV specimens on our moth, so that feature may indicate our specimen above is a male.
