User's notes

Location is approximate. I noticed it on the window as driving down Brindabella Road, so not sure where I picked it up. Stopped at Curries Road and photographed it before releasing it.

Looks somewhat like S. sphenophora (ALA) but not convincing enough I think.

I agree that the forewing costal pattern looks a good match for Strepsicrates, but the broad dark sub-hind-marginal streak looks to me more like S. macropetana, see BOLD's photo BIOUG19651-H09, at http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=216685
