Palm butterfly?

[Tish Silberbauer]

In Australia there are two that immediately come to mind: the Orange
Palm Dart,  _Cephrenes auguades sperthias_ and the Yellow Palm Dart,
_Cephrenes trichopepla_.  Needless to say, both are hesperids and
their larvae feed on palms.  

There are also satyrines called "Palm Flies",  genus _Elymnias_.  Only
one species is in Australia, they are really a SE Asian beastie.
