Apparently ssp albolineata (see sighting 4542578). Originally thought to be Fringed Heath-blue due to presence of two chevrons on the hindwing.

Yes, ssp albolineata. Comment was made on Richard's sighting for anyone that may be interested in keeping up to date. Previous to 2018 our local species was regarded as ssp hobartensis - which is now recorded from Tasmania only. Montane's may also have smaller, more blunt at the tip 'chevrons' than seen on FHB's.
