I agree but I could not find a different match. I did not look very hard though. It was too late at night ;-)

Maybe Sarotorna epipona but it does not look like a perfect match either....

I think this looks quite a lot like Labdia bryomima. See here:-

A new species for NatureMapr and NatureMapr's Canberra and southern Tablelansds region if confirmed. I think the palps and antennae match. Nice clear photos.

I agree it looks like a match. Interesting that it isn't in BOLD or LBH but is in ALA and AFD

I have put a webpage about L. bryomima on LBH using a copies of this and Mat's photos. I hope that is OK with you Katarina?
