Similar to Polysoma eumatella (Gracillariidae) although seems to have an extra prominent white marking.

This is the actual Polysoma eumetalla, it matches the type photo. The record CNM has under that name now is a different species that may be associated with Acrocercops heliopla, but that is not a valid Australian name.
