Given the Atlas of Living Australia lists at about 100 different species in this genus, most of which are not illustrated with a digital image online, identification to species would seem somewhat heroic. However, the specimen does look to my eye, quite similar to L. euryptera which is illustrated on the Lepidoptera Butterfly House website at:http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/psyc/euryptera.html

I'll have a look at this species in ANIC. There are also many undescribed species. Many of the both described and undescribed species have wing patterns similar to this one, so it is difficult to identify to species level.

L. euryptera was described in 1893 from a single specimen from central Qld. The labelled ANIC specimens are all from Qld, although there is a similar undescribed group from ACT. There are many other groups with a similar wing pattern. It's possible that this specimen is euryptera, but not to confirm that from the photo. I think Lepidoscia sp, possibly near euryptera, is as far as we can go.
