Arctiidae
Utetheisa lotrix and U. pulchelloides cannot be distinguished from live photographs unless the male antennae are shown in close up. Females cannot be distinguished except by genitalic dissection.
Note Amerila astreus is not on the Australian Checklist. It is usually identified as an Asian species. However, it is found in Papua - which is closer to Kuranda than Brisbane - and is difficult to distinguish from A. timolis. One of the distinguishing features is that it is brighter. So, I am leaving A. astreus here for the time being.
Cyana meyricki is a very similar species found in southern Qld and northern NSW which has a black collar. This northern Qld look-alike with a brick red collar has no name.
