nope, spelled it wrong, fixed now
I see, I did spell it incorrectly. I had H. abalienelia
Thanks Mark, nice research. I wonder why my searches came up so empty last night? I chose the species from a photograph in the book mentioned and it only has a scattering of images and no alternatives. When I ran the name it literally came back as no hits. Maybe I misspelled it?
I like this link http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:b...
Plenty on CSIRO. It seems your alternatives were H teratopa, H notatana. I think you chose the right one. http://www1.ala.org.au/gallery2/v/Oecoph...

Thanks Maria dB. It is an unusual one. The lack of references was a surprise too
Interesting pattern
