I could not find a convincing match to a named species in the Ardiosteres (genus).

Not convincing. It needs to be reared in captivity to get an adult male moth to get a secure determination of the species.

@donhe I think they were bits of leaf, just very dry eucalyptus leaves. The middle vein of the leaf is visible in the last photo, top most leaf, running down right hand side (vertically oriented in the photo)
