While there are no images available for this species on the Atlas of Living Australia, Moths of Victoria Vol. 4 has a good image (see p. 20,No 16). The digital photograph of the species from the Moths of Victoria CD (G.Lyell) is reproduced on the website page for the species on the Lepidoptera.Butterflyhouse website Moths of Victoria gives the distribution of the species as including the ACT citing the ANIC as the authority. Moths of Victoria also gives a graph showing this species is typically 'on the wing' from September onwards, which fits this observation neatly.
