A first sighting of this species on NatureMapr. The species is known to occur in tropical northern Australia, Excellent pjotos.

Probably not E. dioctis due to the lack of yellow forewing markings.
Unlike LBH, I note that the Australian Faunal Directory recognises Eretmocera dioctis and E. chrysias as separate species.
The moth's forewing markings and sighting location (ie tropical northern Australa) are consistent with Eretmocera chrysias
