Perhaps the bulging black eyes are indiciative of this species.

Yes Ian, also the fringe along the dorsal margin shows no sign of colour

E. melanosoma? E. aliena? E. paradoxa?

Some differences from the original descriptions:
melanosoma; anterior femora blackish above, anterior tibiae above ochreous. Named from Melbourne and may not ocurre this far north.
aliena; basal half of costal border of primaries dark brown
paradoxa; two very slender greyish lines on the fringe. Named from Rockhampton, may be more northern, though little is known of its distribution
