this moth has a good hind- and forewing match for the male of Chrysolarentia euclidiata as illustrated in Moths of Victroria Part3. An additional guide is that Chrysolarentia euclidiata is a very small Chrysolarentia species and in comparison with the grass on which this moth is photographed, this moth is quite small.

@HarveyPerkins I really dislike trying to ID flatwings. Ha! Thank you for assessing all of these.

Thoracic markings are all wrong for Griseargiolestes eboracus. I'd count that as three cells between the discoidal cell and subnodus. I'm thinking Common Flatwing.

Awesome photos. This is a Robber Fly and they are amazing predators. While actively flying they will capture and stab their prey with their proboscis (that sharp beak-like mouthpart hidden in its beard) & then perch to feed.
