mmm, I see what you are saying. I may be wrong but I find female C. approximata tend to be red/russet tinged, P. laticostata more green/grey. The forewing makings are echoed on the costa and part of the hindwing in C. approximata, less so in P. laticostata. The abrupt upward pointing peak on the postmedial line is what I look for in female P. laticostata. This shot with the weird angle makes this ambiguous. I need to look at this again later.

Phrissogonus laticostata

I struggle with these. I was trying to match the very dark, linear markings and then the paler patch markings. We had a similar one previously see Sighting 4583489 I was reading a description of one of the Acropolitis sp on line (I forget which/where) noting the red/russet scales below the thorax. This appear to be relevant to possibly all Acropolitis sp and I catch a hint of them on above specimen.

Acropolitis (genus)

I'm not 100% sure this is A. canana, see ecample of that specues on NatureMapr Greater Brisbane region. I'm more inclned to think it is A. excelsa.

A new species for NatureMapr and Barwon South West region when conformed. Apparently a species from southern Australia distributed from western Victoria to WA. Excellent photo.
