P. hemiphanes looks variable enough to me on BOLD to accommodate 4377151 and 4377203 without invoking an undescribed species.

It isn't Ericrypsina chorodoxa, although there are strong similarities in the wing pattern. the palpi are too short. Palimmeces hemiphanes itself is a Tasmanian species and there apparently are many similar undescribed species.

Bold Systems 4 shows P. hemiphanes as not an exclusively Tasmanian species occuring also in SE Australia including the ACT.
