While I inititally thought this moth could be grouped with Proteuxoa provisional species 1 or Proteuxoa indescribed MOV 21, I think it looks most like 'Proteuxoa sp,(9)', Moths of Victoria, Part 9. It is uniformly black, with a fine white collar, and apparently with a small triangular orange renifom mark, similar to that species.
