Yes: very like Ardozyga nyctias, except for the white spot on the thorax. Looking at the 174 thumbnails on the BOLD page for Ardozyga:

I cannot see any with that white spot, which is a worry.

OK, but I'm being consistent with sighting No. 3385195. Glenn didn't make reference to the spot in the thorax. but described that specimen as Ardozyga 'near nyctias and cryptosperma' . Perhaps that what we should call this 'species' instead?

I had originally suggested it was Barea codrella influenced by a similar image witha prominent white spot labelled as such by Jenny Holmes, see https://www.google.com.au/search?q=Barea+codrella&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=Cwad3SMox8dzNM%253A%252CgqSb6psCsBYzWM%252C_&usg=AI4_-kQrp_SJSzyj7ioXokTl_6J5fiL-Jw&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjtnteu9vDdAhUBxbwKHcx9DUgQ9QEwBXoECAUQBA#imgrc=M-53UKPA1AAyfM:

It does look very like Felder and Rogenhofer's drawing of 'Tinea codrella' (which BOLD seems to call Barea banausa), see
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/bare/codrella.html
F&R's drawing does have a vague pale area on the thorax.

Looking at this, and the "Ardozyga sp" again today, I think I was wrong with the original Ardozyga sp nr nyctias. Barea generally have a strong scale tuft on the thorax, as does this specimen, forming the light spot. The Ardozyga I was looking at have a smooth thorax, and 3385195 seems to have a light coloured scale tuft. Will look more at the photos.
