Perga is probable but not conclusive. We need comprehensive life stages studies such has been done so well with many Lepidoptera.

According to Jin et al. 2013 (cited below), the only species of Rhipiceridae recorded from the Canberra district is Rhipicera femorata. A similar species (R. reichei) has a wide inland range, but the closest recorded localities for it are Wagga and Ardlethan in NSW.
