As for Sighting No 4591528 I suggest this is P. amaurophanes purely based on similarity of wing pattern, See here:-
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1076035-Pedois-amaurophanes The three specimens on BOLD are from SE NSW, NE of Canberra. and here:-

If confirmed this would be new species for NatureMapr's Canberra and Sourhern Tablelands region.
