OK: in that case how about Mormoscopa sordescens, having lost the torni of the forewings from a bird attack?

Certainly looks similar to Mormoscopa spp, but the forewing pattern to me does not seem to match M. sordescens or M. phricozona.

Yes, I thought so. Perhaps. Its certainly frustrating not being able to name such a distinctive looking species. But with an estimated 10,000 species in Australia on one level I’m not surprised. I suspect its a normally sub-tropical or inland species. I suggest creating a temporary category for it.

Yes, Owen isright. Records 4241794, 4245326 and 4245250 are of Arrade destituta with its wings held flat rather than in the usual position of nearly vertical.
