Some differences from the original descriptions:
melanosoma; anterior femora blackish above, anterior tibiae above ochreous. Named from Melbourne and may not ocurre this far north.
aliena; basal half of costal border of primaries dark brown
paradoxa; two very slender greyish lines on the fringe. Named from Rockhampton, may be more northern, though little is known of its distribution
