I obtained a better image of the male of this species this year (2 slightly different individuals).

The Australian Faunal Directory currently gives the scientific name as 'Unplaced externaria' but also records the synonym Tephrosia externaria. Both the ALA and LBH use the scientific name: Hypomecis externariaf or this species although the AFD apparently does not yet recognise this name.
