Proteuxoa mesombra
A noctuid moth with a wing span of 30 mm. Fore wings were pale brown with dark triangles in the mid regions. Each of the triangles had a red comma-shaped pattern. Thorax had thick grey setae with a thin black band.
Spotted at a local sports field. Records indicate that this moth occurs in South Australia and Tasmania.
My thanks to Marilyn Hewish for correcting the ID - previously incorrectly labelled as P.nuna. Will add reference when available. Family: Noctuidae Subfamily: Amphipyrinae
