S. Vic. sp is probably why I'm drawn to that sp.. Looking again I can see yellow on the fringe which may move ID of sp.
Xylorycta (genus)

Certainly I agree it's likely to Xylorycta (genus), but given there are several very similar looking species in this genus, I'm personally unable to be sure it's this suggested species. I note there are only a few records of this species from life online mainly from southern Victoria, so it would appear this record would extend the recorded distribution significantly.
