Not sure how you did that because this is third CNM sighting of a Cruria species. The previous two were ID'd as C. donovani.

Cruria donowani has a white triangle near the base of the forewing, which 4369118 does not have.

OK, well spotted, It seems to be an unusual record for Canberra, usually coastal at this latitude judging by the ALA map for the species.
