This is probably Oxycanus silvanus, although there are other less often seen possibilities

The photo doesn't show enough detail to be certain of species, but definitely genus Oxycanus.

Glenn, not a female antipoda? Oxycanus silvanus females have smaller fw markings IME. JN.

I agree it's most likely antipoda, but the antennae look male to me.

Looking again, the are several different specimens here. The main photo probably is a female O. antipoda. The males probably are too.
