Rehemena surusalis has mainly a tropical and subtropical distribution. Apparently it's host plants are Hibiscus (genus). Canberra may be an extension of its range south, but BOLD shows it occurs on the South Coast at roughly this latitude,

Was thinking the same, also found in Korea and Japan plus some records in coastal southern China
