The pale patch across the thorax looks like Proteuxoa nyctereutica ?

I don't have much info. on P. nycteurtica apart from the single iNat obervation on ALA and the Moths of Victoria set specimen photos. MoV says it occurs in Victoria and WA and notes that the relationships to the P. sp.(5) group should be investigated. My suggested identification would place it in one of the P.sp.(5) categories we have created.
