3383098 and 3374659 appear to be photos of C. heliacaria rather than C. interruptata. Although both species are variable in their forewing pattern (interruptata more so), they have consistent differences. One is the white line coming in from the forewing apex – with interruptata it is long and prominent and in heliacaria it is barely noticeable. Both species are illustrated in Moths of Victoria.
