Yes, also has the distinct shape of dark scale-patch which MoV Part 9 says is characteristic of 'flexirena';, although they say all moths with such dark scale patches are Thorocolopha rather than Proteuxoa genus.

Given the moth moderator's joint decsion to re-classify P. flexirena sightings as T. flexirena to follow Hithhcock, Edwards amd Mitchell's 2018 revision of the Proteuxoa spp. I propose we re-classify this sighting at T. flexirena. It shows the very dark crescent reniform mark characteristic of the species as descibed in Moths of Victori Part 9 page 2/3 for the species and the pale grey narrow inner band within the strongly contrasting whitish broad inner band on the forewing.
