Not completely sure - I spent a lot of time last week trawing through Leptozeastis and trachydoras as I found quite a few different ones and I thought it looked like a match.

Leptozestis crassipalpis

Are you sure it's not one of 58 unnamed Australian Leptozestis species ?

@donhe Is there a way to differentiate between Leptosestis and Trachydora?

Leptozestis and Trachydora (genera)

If Stenomatinae is a subfamily of Depressariidae, to what subfamily do al the moths currently in Depressariidae belong: Depressariinae ?

Agriophara (genus)

I understood our policy on NatureMapr (Moths) as we I believe we agreed to is to follow the AFD.
https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Agriophara
However, if there is a consensus amongst moth moderators to place ttem in the subfamily Stenomatinae of Oecophoridae than well and good and I am happy to facilitate that, but I first would change the 'A Depressarid moth to 'A Concealer moth' before doing so. I have merged the former two groups of Agriophara (genus) in to one.
PS. I note that the authors of Moths in the ACT say calling Stenomatinae a full family (ie Stenomatidae) and therefore placing it within the superfamily Gelechioidea "is perhaps the least confusing course to take at present", see p. 99.
