Is this the same species as Hypertropha tortriciformis?

I believe so. The Australian Faunal Directory recognises H. tortriciformis as a species - and as a synonym of Anthoecia divitiosa (as also LBH does of Eupselia tortriciformis). So, to conform with our CNM policy, I suggest changing our name to H. torticiformis - although I'll wait for comment from donHe first
