I think the markings are different to S. episema.

True, and the head and the wings are the wrong colour, but you can't have everything. How about Scatochresis (genus) ?

This the currently accepted name for the species by the Australian Faunal Directory and ''Moths in the ACT '(Cocking et al 2022).
