Closest match I've seem so far is Noreia vinacea, a PNG and tropicsal Queensland species, which seems unlikely -but despite the difference in colour (N. vinacea is more orange brown looking) the forewing marking looks very similar. I do not see many features I would expect for A. punctunculus.

No white line joining the bases of the antennae.
