I can see the likeness, but it also looks like Xylorycta assimilis. There are many difficult to distinguish pure white Xylorycta spp, but X. assimilis has a characteristic light yellow outline to the fws and across the thorax. It has been recorded often in the ACT, and also more widely in NSW. Eochrois callianassa has yellow also on other parts of the fws, and has shorter labial palpi.
