Flexamia areolata
The oblique black dashes along the wing edges are "reflexed" crossveins, characteristic of this genus. F. areolata is the only one with bold "eye spots" on the wings. It is a specialist on lovegrass, Eragrostis spectabilis; the "eye spots" mimic the little black seeds of the grass.
