Thank you, Black, for Family
Platystomatidae .
If somebody could confirm this as in the genus
Achias, it would be very well.

Yes? it is
certainly an
Achias. The genus has been revised by David McAlpine from Sydney in 1990s, but I do not have that paper on hand at the moment. Furthermore, it is a large and obscure genus with no possibility for ID based on these pictures.
