Male., pale straw coloured, broad antennae with the fine filaments shorter on one side of the midrib than the the other. The sharp view of the antennae in the third photo is a good match to the partial Visual Key of Oxycanus genus (Victorian species) antennae (male and female) which has been provided on a disk which accompanies 'Moths of Victoria', (Part 6, Hepialidae).
