@RogerF so interesting, but much like so many other inverts, there’s always so many undescribed and so often unable to be determined without rearing juveniles/nymphs/larvae through to their adult form…. There is still so much to learn out there isn’t there🙃

Moths of Victoria (Part 5) makes it clear two distinguishing features are present here for the male of the species: black margin to golden yellow hindwing and the diagonal the diffuse forewing line on the forewing terminating at the outer wing tip. Whitish colouring at the base of the forewing not visible, Some males don't have the black margin to the hindwing,

Hi Di,

There are more undescribed species of grasshopper (Acrididae + Eumastacidae) than described (including 2 Austracris) and probably many more to be discovered, especially in the tropics, as well as 6 described species of Valanga plus V. irregularis. I know nothing about the nymphs of these others. The only way to connect nymphs to adults is by breeding in the lab. The unusual pink hind wing buds of 4643981are also a puzzle: does the adult have pinkish hind wings. Searching through iNat could be worthwhile.
