I am suggesting A. ipsilon because of 1. the overall dark colouration, 2. the distinctive paler area around the tips of the forewing and 3. the characteristic black concave shape to the front of the thorax. These features can be seen on the images loaded to the ALA for this species . See: https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:3922736f-1e6b-4b8e-9faf-806b1ce78f33#gallery
