There seem to be a few Tortricid species with a similar forewing pattern. This specimen looks to be a good match with CNM's M. divulsana, but Epiphyas asworthana is also similar.

We already have Tortricinae sp. (subfamily), see:
https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Species/Sightings/22847
So maybe we need to remove the new name of Tortricinae species (subfamily) from Other moths:

OK, yes, Tortricinae should not be in Other Moths, I believe. Actually Tortricinae sp. (subfamily)' already exists in Tortricidae and has valid entries in it so it can remain untouched. 'Tortricinae species (subfamly)' in Other Moths is empty as a category so it can be safely deleted.

Thanks Ian, 'Tortricinae species (subfamly)' in Other Moths has been deleted.

This is Dichelia clarana ( Clarana clarana on AFD). The sexes are different; this is a female. The previous CNM record is a male.
