E. chorodoxa has been recorded in the ACT, formerly claissified as Philobota genus. Its apparently quite variable, but several examples online show a crest on the thorax raised as in this photo.

H coppatias also has a crest and the consistent forewing pattern matches this record. Ericrypsina chorodoxa differs in overall shape.
