I'm suggesting E. reservata becaise of the distinctive 3 dot (offset) pattern towards the base of the forewing.

Ian, Possibly not diagnostic, sighting 4501518 a confirmed tryxaria, though a poor-quality image, clearly shows the same arrangement of spots on the forewing

Yes, but the arrangement of the spots is probably not. Of those I have collected I have never recorded reservata here at Sheldon. I know it is local, a friend has it from Beaudesert and Springbrook.

OK,, but i reckon this looks a lot like E. reservata which on iNaturalist seems to be recorded regularly in the Brisbane aria.

Not sure iNats has it correct. The one from Newstead has dark palps as does the one near Narangba both research grade.
