ID suggestion made on the basis that the 'forewing is entirely void of a discal spot or a transverse line' ie. distinguishing it from O. albidalis,

Wendy, correct, Nacoleia mesochlora (Meyrick, 1884)

I don't think this is Nacoleia amphicedalis. The white bands on the abdomen are different as are the markings in the white patch on the forewing. Nacoleia amphicedalis does not have the pale basal line and has larger white patches at the wing apex.
