I think the shallow cusp in the forewing submarginal line is more like that of Androchela camptodes than the straighter line in Androchela newmannaria, cf

OK, the AFD does not recognise the name Androchela camptodes, but does recognise Amelora camptodes. That would make this species the only 'Amelora' I can see which has a pointed margin on the trailing hindwing edge, which seems to be a characteristic of other Androchela genus species. Perhaps sightings 4375964 and 4375956 are an undescribed species in the genus Androchela rather than Amelora.

Both A. comptodes and A. newmannaria are variously put in Amelora and Androchela by different authorities, and some others think they are synonyms. I think they differ superficially in the curvature of the forewing submedial line.
