I am tempted to say Clania lewinii, but I have always found those on Myrtaceae, and never before on Rosaceae.

There are two instances of donhe's suggested identificatiion for this sighting currently visible to me in my 'Moderator Alerts' inbox: 'Psychanisa sp. (genus)' and 'Psychidae'(family', but only the entry 'Psychidae'(family' appears above on this page. Clicking on the 'Psychanisa sp. (genus)' option in Moderator Alerts takes me to this page only. I have never experienced this apparent error before. 'Psychanisa sp. (genus)' is a real and valid option which does appear in the moth taxonomy. 10:55 pm 18/12/21.
