@donhe you would need to see them front on then queenslandica has, “head lightly scaled, white, with a pair of purplish brown dots between the eyes just below the antennal bases: pair of thin purplish brown bars between antennal bases which extend almost to the mid-line; labial palps upturned, white, with purplish brown tips.”

why are you ignoring Arctornis ravenshoeae ? No species appear to be recognised by ALA/AFD

@WendyEM : Thought A. ravenshoeae was from far north ? Ok. How do we distinguish that from the other two ?
