Another stunner! This family is among my favourites.

This is a very nice Trichophthalma sp. from Murchison - Western Australia. Photos are credited to my friend Jean Hort.
If anyone knows the species of this one, it would be great. Id genus by Jefferies. I agree with this ID. No idea on species, though. :(
