I have not found a name for this species, which now has several sightings on CNM, and there is an additional Canberra observation documented at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/42304895. A mating pair was photographed near Melbourne and is imaged at https://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/b8254af7-f032-4e1b-a4b8-fb82295805f2. The male has much longer antennae and more extensive dark areas on the wings than the female.
