Barea? Possibly B. anisochroa? (See BOLD Systems 4).

Glenn Cocking has looked at the ANIC specimens from which the three photos on BOLD have originated and suggests that these two specimens are not B. anisochroa for the following reasons: 1. There is a distinct light band across the rer of the thorax for B. anthe isochroa but not the CNM specimens. 2. The labial palpi for B. anisochroa are black at the tip but white lower down, whereas those of the CNM specimens are dark all over; and 3. the two groups have a different overall shape.
Glenn suggests the CNM specimens are likely to be Ardozyga species.

Taking a quick overall look at thr Ardozyga species I can see on BOLD, the most likely candidate I can see, based on forewing pattern, seems to be Ardozyga acroleuca. According to BOLD, A. acroleuca has been recorded in the ACT. It would be interesting to see if ANIC's A. acroleuca specimens are a better match for these photos.
