Excellent photo Chris. I havent seen the stripe on the back of this wallaby in other photos. Yours is by far the best photo. (Or could there be more than one such wallaby on Mt Majura? - I doubt it).

May be acromelanism as seen in 'sealpoint' siamese cats. Apparently the same genes are involved in Leucism and Acromelanism so acromelanism may be a form of leucism, or they may be different forms of the same thing.

Wallabia bicolor

I agree it is Endoxyla sp. There is a sequence on iNat of a newly emerged E. lituratus which does show the white 'tummy' with the upper side of the abdomen black and white cross-ways stripes.

Images on http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/coss/coss-under.html show various with white on the underside of the abdomen

OK. Could not see any purple on head which would have suggested E. encalypti

Hi Alison, this is a queen, probably Anonychomyrma. Cheers, Jon
