Same moth as sighting 4411827. I am not convinced about the proposed IDs for that sighting and I can't find anything to match this moth myself.

Probably not the two veiny Pyraloids: Ancylolomia westwoodi or Thalamorrhyncha isoneura.
The posture reminds me of Plutellidae.

Don, I think you have found it. Excellent. It looks to me like it matches Nag psammochroa perfectly.

The Australian Faunal Directory and the ALA recognizes this as Unplaced psammochroa, although no photos on the ALA are available there.

I guess lack of funding at AFD/ALA is a problem. The people at moths.csiro.au/ seem to know what it is. I think we should follow their nomenclature now that AFD is stagnant. Anyway I am reluctant to try and say it is a 'New Species' to CNM as last time I tried it : I got a SNAFU.
