The only other Uraba sp. besides U. lugens in the world is U. deplanana named from a single specimen in the British museum from Tasmania. I can find no images or more mentions of it since Walker's description in 1866. One suspects it was a once only aberration or mutant.

@donhe Don, These don't appear to have the hat either as you mentioned in my sighting. Uraba sp. (maybe Uraba deplanana)#Comments

@donhe @AlisonMilton - is the hat from their shed skin? These were teeny tiny so maybe haven't had their first shed yet?

Yes, possibly. With larvae, one really needs to take one or more into protective custody for study and rearing. We know so little about them
