Yes, I think so. Bold Systems 4 shows S. cleodorais has been recorded in the ACT.

In AFD and ALA this species is referred to as Eudonia cleodoralis, in Scopariinae.
It also looks remarkably like Nechilo macrogona in Crambinae at
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=362984
which also occurs in this area.

Actually its seems iNaturalist is in error and in fact its Scopula (not Scoparia) cleodaris and Eudonia cleodoralis which are synonyms. Yes and its seems Nechilo macrogona and Eudonia/Scopula cleodoralis are difficult to distinguish(- as Australian PM Macolm Fraser famously said: 'Life wasn't meant to be easy!). In deference to AFD and the ALA I will change the CNM taxonomy to Eudonia cleodoralis.
