Glyphipterix spp. are difficult to identify. I didn't find a match with the two named species on the ALA which have this kind of wing pattern There are many more named species on Bold Systems 4. I thought there was a reasonable match between this specimen and a species G. cyanochalca which at least two specimens of which seem to have been recorded in the ACT or nearby in NSW. Therefore I suggest this species, otherwise we may need to revert to Glyphipterix sp.(genus) as the identification.
