I can't check at ANIC at the moment, but believe this is more likely to be another Earias huegliana. Doesn't it match the illustration of that species in MoV better than the one of E. vittella (and E. vitella isn't in the MoV CD). According to Inat, Earias huegliana is a widespread species, incl in southern Australia, and E. vittella is much more northern.

I agree, it seems more likely, based on the relative distribution of the two Earias sp. to be E. huegliana.
