These specimens, like sighting No 3383777 (18-10-2017) were recorded at the same garden site in O'Connor, but 5 weeks later. They match 'Aporectena sp.1' as named by Moths of Victoria, Part 5, p.25, but this time they look like the male of the species, whereas the specimens of sighting No. 3383777 were apparently females.
