L. stenographa or L. loreyi ? The previous id was based on Butterfly House images but further investigation has put doubt into it being correct. According to MOV L. loreyi is smaller than L. stenographa (not very helpful). It also suggests that L. loreyi is only found in the extreme north of Aus (is this correct). This specimen has two dark lines on ventral side of abdomen, consistent with L. stenographa but I don't know about L. loreyi. Underside hindwing is also consistent with L. stenographa.
