The closest match to this I've found so far is Sympoecila deloptypa (Barea group) See here: http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/bare/delotypa.html However, although this specimen has a similar pattern of markings its markings are blacker showing less white. All the examples on the ALA are similar to the LBH photo of the species however, and there is only one similar looking set specimen of the species on BOLD Systems 4 to compare it with.
