While there are lots of them, many of the pinned examples of this specie at https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=362793 are hard to read. However, the shape of the moth corresponds, the position and length of tan stripe(s) and 2 main dark lines 1 to & 1 approaching the costa, also dark dash at end of tan mark correspond with the species. e.g. https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimen.php?processid=NSWLP935-13
