Outer margin of hindwing is rounded not slightly angled and there are black spots within thre red and yellow fringed wing margins which C. dichloraria lacks (Moths of Victoria Key, Part 4).

Thanks so much for your expertise and help - it's really appreciated as, to a novice like me, it's 'so many, so similar'!

I believe the black spots within the red on the termen are important indicators of vertumnaria (or MoVsp3)
