Thanks for the ID, Wendy and Ian. I had another one turn up at Rugosa this evening.

This specimen is very similar to the photo at p.140 of 'Moths in the ACT' (Cocking et al 2022) labelled Araeopaschia sp. (male). Males have a small swelling on the costa which I think is just visible, here. The text says: 'This unnamed Araeopaschia species is often recorded in the ACT.'

A new species sighting for NaturMapr. Few specimens from life are visible online, so apparently it is not a commonly observed species.

Yes I agree that’s a good match. Doesn’t seem to be any images from field. Same location as two of the specimens.
