I'm wondering if this is ichneutica omicron. The specimen is from shrubland/tussock grass area near volcanic dunes & desert rd (not within national park)
Picture two shows the specimen with what I believe to be ichneutica sistens below it , showing the differences.
Picture three shows the underside of the specimens again with ichneutica sistens below for comparison.
This being the most noticeable difference , there is no circular line present on the hindwing on the specimen in question.
All I.sistens specimens I have have this line.
Possibly just a sistens varient also.
