If the reniform were not white, I would think this moth is Proteuxoa atra.

Yes, the difference is borne out by Moths of Victoria (Part 9) on the pages on the supporting disc for P. bistrigula and P. atra. However MOV say the renifom mark is 'light brown' in P. atra, (illustrated by supporting photos).
