    Hi Ernst,
    With the little I know about Aussie lacewings I'd say this should probably be a Dictyochrysa and if that is correct it must be Dictyochrysa peterseni. The problem being that I don't have a good understanding of some of the rarer Aussie lacewings, so I can't really rule those out altogether.
    Interestingly ALA has a record (via iNaturalist) for D.peterseni from just south of Adelaide too:
    https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/47941756 and it's ID'd by someone I would probably trust with a proper ID on this..
    P.S. Found some more keys and original descriptions (notably for the other Aussie Nothochrysinae), so pretty confident of the ID now.     Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

        That was a nice puzzle that tought me a thing or two about genera of lacewings previously unknown to me, so an interesting undertaking for me myself and I ;o) Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
