I don’t think we can positively say that this is Diphucrania acuducta as the pattern appears a bit different to the more normal specimens. There are a few species of Diphucrania that look quite similar to acuducta however I don’t think this can be determined without examining the specimen in more detail.

Definitely not Diphucrania acuducta. As MarkH suggests, really need to have one or more specimens to hand to even attempt an ID, preferably including males. Cheers, Allen M. Sundholm.
